Cynthia Erivo is an actor and singer who is just an Oscar away from the most prestigious of the performing accolades, an EGOT. Her achievements become even more remarkable when you learn that she only arrived in the US 9 years ago, and made her film debut in 2018. Outside of acting she’s written a children’s book, founded her own production company, and was recently appointed vice-president of prestigious London drama school RADA. With a starring role in the screen adaptation of the musical Wicked alongside Ariana Grande on the horizon, her career really is defying gravity….
