Andra Day Looks Beyond Billie Holiday in InStyle June 2021, Lensed by Chrisean Rose

The uber talented Andra Day, born Cassandra Monique Batie, admits that she had Billie Holiday on her brain when choosing her stage name. It never occurred to the singer, songwriter and Oscar-nominated actor that she would literally walk in the history and persona of the great American jazz and swing singer.

With a Golden Globe award added to her resume for her current movie ‘The United States vs. Billie Holiday’, Andra Day said “Zoom be damned”, as she sat down with Rebecca Carroll for the June 2021 issue of Instyle Magazine.

It’s not Rebecca Carroll’s first chat with Andra Day. She previously interviewed the star as part of press for the movie, an original Audible podcast ‘Billie Was a Black Woman’.
