Grammy-nominated singer and songwriterHalle Baileyis a quadruple threat.
Despite her unquestionable talent, she’s faced unfair setbacks.
This influence is attributed to Bailey’s admiration for music icon Billie Holiday.
In a 2018 interview withTimemagazine, Bailey explained the impact that the late icon has had on her music.
“I’ve always been inspired by jazz.
Billie Holiday is one of my biggest influences.
I discovered her voice when I was 5 years old.
