Born Cassandra Monique Batie, Andra Day has evolved into a distinguished name in the world of R&B, soul, and beyond. Her journey, marked by her unique voice and profound artistry, began in San Diego, where she honed her skills in performing arts. What's remarkable about Day is not just her vocal skills but also her ability to connect with her audience through her music and performances.


Andra Day, a name synonymous with versatility, brings to the stage a repertoire that spans across multiple genres, embodying the spirit of both contemporary and classic music. With her Grammy-winning talent, Day has etched her name in  music history. 

Andra Day's rise to fame can be traced back to her debut album, Cheers to the Fall, released in 2015. This album, a blend of raw emotion and classic jazz, received critical acclaim and was nominated for Best R&B Album at the 2016 Grammy Awards.

Its lead single, Rise Up, did not just resonate with the masses but also became a beacon of inspiration worldwide. This song's popularity led to it being used in an advertisement featuring Serena Williams and an Apple TV commercial with Stevie Wonder.

Day's talent and dedication to her craft have seen her perform at prestigious events and venues, from the White House to the Essence Music Festival.


Her influence extends beyond music into acting, most notably with her role as Billie Holiday in the 2021 biopic The United States vs. Billie Holiday, a performance that garnered her critical acclaim.

Offstage, Day's life is as fascinating as her career. She was born in Edmonds, Washington, and grew up in San Diego, California. Her parents, though not musicians themselves, instilled in her a deep love for music, which has been the cornerstone of her success. As Super Bowl 2024 approaches, the anticipation for Andra Day's performance is palpable.

The halftime show promises to be just as thrilling, with the multi-talented Usher headlining. Usher is a celebrated R&B superstar with numerous awards and hit songs to his name.
