Andra Day
Andra Day can currently be seen playing Aisha in the new drama Exhibiting Forgiveness, out now in theaters. A Grammy-winning singer/songwriter, activist and actress, Andra Day was initially best known for her 2016 Grammy-nominated behemoth “Rise Up,” which amassed over 1 billion streams and an RIAA triple-platinum certification. And she’s performed alongside everyone from Stevie Wonder and the Obamas to Nick Jonas and Alicia Keys. In 2021, her feature-acting debut in the Lee Daniels-directed biopic The United States vs. Billie Holiday (in which she starred as Holiday) earned her a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Drama and a nomination for Best Actress at the Oscars. She also won a Grammy Award for Best Soundtrack Visual Media and a BET Award for Best Actress. Her upcoming studio album, Cassandra, is a soulful and timeless body of work that captures the artist’s essence and inimitable vocals.
