The awards were presented to diverse winners from, artists to actresses, designers to two record-breaking Olympians and Paralympians, and on the list is Nigerian-American actress and singer Cynthia Erivo who won the Music Award category.
“Having conquered Broadway and Hollywood, this year, Cynthia Erivo has played the queen of soul, Aretha Franklin, and brought out a personal new album while using her powerful voice to call for social change,” Harper’s Bazaar UK writes about the multi-faceted award-winning artist.
Speaking on her role as Aretha Franklin, Cynthia tells Harper’s Bazaar UK:
I enjoyed getting the opportunity to know what made Aretha the person, which made Aretha the artist. And yes, she compartmentalised her life but I get that.
There are things that you should be able to keep just for yourself. Because there’s a strange thing that happens when you’re in the public eye, where it feels like a lot of what you have and do belongs to everyone.
For your sanity, it’s good to be able to keep some things for yourself. I don’t mind sharing a lot, but so I can remain the happy person I am when you meet me, there are things I love that I only talk to the people I love about.
