Timeline
Brenda Claudina Susan Edwards (' Artman'''; born 2 March 1969) is an English singer, actress, television personality and presenter.
Brenda Claudina Susan Artman was born on 2 March 1969 in Luton, Bedfordshire, to an Afro-Caribbean family.
Edwards and her older brother Rodney were raised by relatives following the death of their parents in a car crash on 22 December 1974.
Her grandmother, who was a member of the local Pentecostal church, encouraged her granddaughter to attend when she was eight, and Edwards soon discovered a love of music and singing, which led to joining Sunday school junior choir, and soon became the choir mistress, as well as a member of the Pentecostal Collective Church of God in Christ (COGIC) mass choir.
Edwards eventually made the move from gospel to secular music, and at 18 she sang at local night clubs, weddings, funerals and bar mitzvahs.
Prior to finding a successful entertainment career, Edwards worked full-time in accounts.
Edwards had two children, Jamal (1990–2022) and Tanisha, from a previous relationship.
Jamal was the creator of SB.TV and owned Just Jam, a subsidiary Sony record label, until his death in 2022.

In 2005, she finished in fourth place on the second series of The X Factor.

Performances of "I'm Outta Love" and "I'll Never Love This Way Again" won her a place in the semi-final, where she was voted out after her renditions of "Respect" and "Without You" with just 23 votes separating her and the act in third place.
After The X Factor, Edwards was chosen to play the role of Mama Morton in the hit West End musical Chicago, and her run in the show continued until March 2007.

In July 2019, it was announced that Edwards would be playing the lead role of Delores Van Cartier in the forthcoming UK tour and West End revival of Sister Act: The Musical, with Whoopi Goldberg confirming that the part was being revised specifically to allow Brenda to play the role after being rejected from the original UK casting for being "too old".
(The original versions had Delores as a 23-year-old, contrary to the older character portrayed in the movie from which the musical was based.)
In January 2021, Edwards joined the BBC's Songs of Praise.
In June 2022, Edwards portrayed Matron "Mama" Morton in the UK tour of Chicago, as a replacement for Gemma Collins, who had been forced to withdraw from the role due to a knee injury.
