Andra Day has been baring her soul on the world’s stage for years.

She has performed alongside legends like Stevie Wonder and Alicia Keys, and has given a special performance for the Obama family.
Recently, she made her feature-acting debut as Billie Holiday in the Lee Daniels-directed biopic “The United States vs. Billie Holiday.” Her acclaimed performance earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress and a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama. Day’s winning renditions of Billie Holiday songs and her own heartwarming originals on the soundtrack have won praise from critics and fans alike, including nominations for the original song “Tigress & Tweed” at both the Golden Globes and the Critics’ Choice Awards.
Day’s upcoming studio album and moving new single “Phone Dies” continue the emotional journey of her music, spreading tenderness and joy to a world that needs it.
