Normani, 20, was born on May 31, 1996. The Dancing beauty found fame when she auditioned for The X Factor's second season and was placed in an all-girl group by executive producer and judge Simon Cowell with four other young female singers -- Ally Brooke, Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregui, and Camila Cabello.

The group became known as Fifth Harmony and quickly took over the world. (Camila, however, left the group in December 2016).

Fifth Harmony recently wrapped a tour in Asia, during which Normani and Val flew back and forth in between Dancing with the Stars tapings.

Normani and Val have topped Dancing with the Stars judges' leaderboard in first place during the season, so fans are expecting big things to come from her. Since she has natural talent as a dancer and performer, Normani is picking up ballroom steps with ease and grace. Want to learn more about her?
