Interview: Heather Headley

From her childhood in the Caribbean island of Trinidad to gracing the stages of Broadway, the West End and the White House, Tony Award and Grammy Award-winning performer Heather Headley keeps delivering versatility, humility, and vocal agility year after year, song after song, show after show. After originating the role of Nala in The Lion King musical, Heather won the praise of critics and audiences alike in the title role of Elton John's Aida. She has won multiple accolades for her R&B, soul and gospel albums, frequently tours the world with Andrea Bocelli, and recently completed a run of The Color Purple on Broadway. Heather is still trying to figure out if she's a good singer, and she has some advice for those of us just getting started in our creative careers.
