LeToya Nicole Luckett-Coles[2] (born March 11, 1981)[3] is an American R&B singer and actress. She rose to fame in the late 1990s as a founding member of the R&B girl group Destiny's Child, one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. As a member of Destiny's Child, she achieved four US Top 10 hit singles, "No, No, No", "Bills, Bills, Bills", "Jumpin', Jumpin'", and "Say My Name", sold over 25 million records,[4] and won two Grammy Awards.[5][6][7] In the 2000s, she began her solo career after leaving the group and signing a record deal with Capitol Records.

Her solo debut album, LeToya (2006), debuted at number-one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, and was certified platinum by the RIAA, that same year. The lead single, "Torn", reached the Top 40 in the U.S., and set records on BET's top ten countdown show 106 & Park. Luckett was awarded Top Songwriter at the 2006 ASCAP Rhythm and Soul Awards.[8] Luckett's second solo album, Lady Love (2009), debuted at number-one on the U.S. Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album included the Tank co-penned single "Regret" featuring rapper Ludacris. She returned to music in 2017, releasing her third studio album, Back 2 Life (2017), which marked her first independent release. The album was preceded by two singles: "Back 2 Life" and "Used To".

As an actress, Luckett made an appearance in the feature film Killers (2010), and starred in the lead role of Angie in Preacher's Kid (2010). She later portrayed Stacey in the film From the Rough (2011), while subsequently appearing on the second season of the HBO drama series Treme (2011–2012). Luckett has also starred in television series, such as the VH1 comedy-drama Single Ladies (2014–2015), the OWN drama Greenleaf (2017–2020) and the Starz crime drama Power Book III: Raising Kanan (2022).
