Kelly Rowland will be 'feted' at the third annual Essence Black Women in Music event on February 8, reports Billboard.
The 'Train On A Track' hitmaker will perform live at the invite-only event in Los Angeles, which takes place just before the Grammys.
Essence editor-in-chief Constance CR White said it was Rowland's "talent, drive and remarkable creative force" that showed others "what it truly means to be a young powerhouse in an ever-changing industry".
