How Faith Led Andra Day To Success & The Deliverance

Y'all my girl and good friend ‪@AndraDayMusic‬ came through for #HouseGuest, and my jaw is still sore from all the laughs we had. We got into everything—her deep connection and devotion to Lee Daniels, how she tried to self-sabotage her breakout role as Billie Holiday, why she feels the characters she plays become part of her DNA, and what it was like working with screen legends Glenn Close, Mo'Nique, and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor on her new Netflix film, The Deliverance.

We couldn’t talk without diving into her music, too. Andra gave me the scoop on her latest album, Cassandra, and how she’s back in the studio exploring a different sound. We also may have created a club remix for 'Rise Up', and I couldn't let a powerhouse voice like Andra's visit the house without belting out a couple tunes with our game 'Soundtrack Spinoff'.

This episode is packed with good vibes, real talk, and plenty of shenanigans. Let me know in the comments if you enjoyed it!! 🙏🏾
