TV ONE'S EDGY NEW AUTOBIOGRAPHY SERIES

UNCENSORED AND NEW SEASON OF AWARD-WINNING FRANCHISE UNSUNG PREMIERE WITH BACK-TO-BACK EPISODES ON SUNDAY, FEB. 18

UNSUNG Kicks Off Season 12 with 90s R&B SuperGroup Silk at 9P/8C Followed by Tiffany Haddish UNCENSORED

in Series Debut at 10P/9C

TV One's signature, award winning music autobiography series UNSUNG is back for Season 12 with all new episodes!  The premiere features 90's R&B super group Silk on Sunday, February 18 at 9/8C. Through first-hand accounts, interviews with family and friends, and archival footage, each episode of TV One's signature series UNSUNG weaves a tale of the highs and lows of a life in the limelight. Their poignant stories offer insight into the trials and triumphs faced by musical artists in both private and public forums.  Silk took the R&B world by storm in the 1990s, with hits like Freak Me and Happy Days. But their success came with a cost, including management changes, the loss of their lead singer, and a restraining order from a former manager.

Silk was formed in Atlanta, getting their start harmonizing gospel songs at church.  The five man group eventually "discovered" by singer/producer Keith Sweat, who heard them at a family barbecue. Although the group's debut album went double platinum, the church-trained group was conflicted over singing highly sexualized bedroom songs. In response, they changed their sound for their second album, which hurt their popular appeal.  Silk revisited the popular sound that made them superstars with their third album, a multi-platinum seller titled, Tonight.

The series sheds much-deserved light on some of the most influential, talented and, somehow, infamous R&B, soul, funk, hip hop, disco, and gospel artists of the last 30 years. Also featuring The Boys, Trick Daddy, Deborah Cox, Avant, Shirley Caesar, Blue Magic, Brand Nubianand Lost Boyz, season 12 of TV One's critically acclaimed and award-winning Unsung uncovers the personal triumphs and struggles of these musical legends. 

Following the UNSUNG season 12 premiere, TV One will debut a brand new series, UNCENSORED. An edgy autobiography series that features the first person accounts of today's hottest celebrities, UNCENSORED debuts with an episode focused on Tiffany Haddish, one of this year's most notable scene-stealers on Sunday, February 18 at 10PM/9C. Tiffany Haddish ("Girl's Trip") might seem like she's living the good life as comedy's newest it-girl, but the talented actress and comedienne's life wasn't always so charmed. 

Growing up in South Central Los Angeles in the 80s and 90s, Tiffany saw more than her fair share of violence both outside and within the home. Even before she was a teenager, Tiffany dealt with everything from teen bullying, to being in a near-fatal car accident with her family that caused her mother to suffer brain trauma, to being put in foster care away from the rest of her siblings. Despite this, Tiffany persisted in her comedy career dreams and has now experienced a meteoritic rise as Hollywood's funniest foul-mouthed diva.

In its first season, UNCENSORED dives deep into your favorite personalities as they reveal secrets to their success, obstacles they've faced, and how they manage this new world of social media that has helped but sometimes haunted their careers. The 10-episode biography series gives unprecedented access to stars of film, television, music and pop culture, including LaLa Anthony, Snoop Dogg, Tamar Braxton, NeNe Leakes, Nia Long, Charlamagne Tha God, Le'Andria Johnson and more as they personally reveal their own stories, in their own words, in the places their stories unfolded.
