Cynthia Erivo
Acclaimed theatre and big screen performer Cynthia Erivo best known for roles in "Harriet" and the musical "A Colour Purple" picks her Tracks Of My Years.
Emmy, Grammy and Tony-winning actor and singer Cynthia Erivo picks her Tracks Of My Years.
An acclaimed theatre and big screen performer who's been described as "the entertainment industryβs #1 choice as a triple threat.", Londoner Cynthia has been praised for roles in Hollywood blockbuster films such as βHarrietβ and βBad Times at the El Royaleβ, along with Broadway roles including the main character Celie in the stage version of 'The Color Purple'.
Although she grew up in South London, it's been America who's embraced Cynthia more so far, with 'Chewing Gum' being one of her few British screen credits. She has, however, worked with acclaimed British director Steve McQueen on his film adaptation of 'Widows', one of her highest profile movie roles to date.
Cynthia has just released her debut album of original music as a recording artist. 'Ch. 1 Vs. 1', which has been described as "a 12-track journey into her mental and emotional landscapeβone marked by heartbreak and sadness, but also triumph and growth". Cynthia co-wrote every track on the album, including 'The Good', which was Radio 2-playlisted earlier this year.
