From her early days as a girl singing solos with the choir at Pleasant Grove Baptist
Church in Houston,TX to her years on the Broadway stage and beyond, the
inimitable voice of Jennifer Holliday has riveted the hearts of audiences from
around the world. She is a Broadway Legend in every sense of the term: her iconic
portrayal of Effie “Melody” White in the 1981 smash hit Dreamgirls will forever
be a template for delivering gut-wrenching, timeless performances, evidenced in

Ms. Holliday garnering a Grammy® Award for her performance of the show-
stopping torch ballad “And I am Telling You, I’m Not Going” and a coveted Tony

Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her role as Effie.
Her second album, “Say You Love Me,” won her a second GRAMMY® for her
rendition of Duke Ellington’s classic, “Come Sunday.” From 1985 to 1992, she had
five Top 10 singles on the R&B and Dance Charts and her star continued to shine
brightly with collaborations and appearances with other megastars: Barbra
Streisand, Luther Vandross, David Foster, Paul Simon, Michael Jackson, Maurice
White and Foreigner, with whom she performed on a special version of “I Want To
Know What Love Is.”
In 2014, Ms. Holliday released her first album in two decades. “This Song Is You”
stirred long-time fans and garnered a new generation of enthusiastic listeners
landing Ms. Holliday back in the Top 20 R&B charts with rave reviews.
Standout television appearances include David E. Kelley’s Ally McBeal, American
Idol, and So You Think You Can Dance. In 2016, Ms. Holliday returned to the
stage starring alongside Cynthia Erivo in the Broadway revival of The Color
Purple as sultry singer Shug Avery. She is a long-standing, dedicated supporter of
the LGBTQ+ community and an advocate for mental health and suicide
prevention.
 Recently Ms. Holliday has appeared on the hit TV Show "The Masked Singer" as Miss Teddy where she thrilled and electrified the nation with her, still,  powerful and captivating voice.
