For the past near decade, "Rise Up" has been an American anthem. The track has been blasted everywhere, from subways stations and youth basketball games, to political campaign rallies and television commercials. Many know the lyrics, but may not know that Andra Day, the songstress behind "Rise Up," is just as inspiring.
Andra Day blew on to the scene with her Grammy Award-winning debut album "Cheers to the Fall." In 2020, she took to the silver screen to star as Billie Holiday in the Lee Daniels film "The United States vs. Billie Holiday." For her performance, Day won a Golden Globe and snagged an Oscar nomination. Day teamed up with Daniels again for the film "The Deliverance," streaming now on Netflix.
