Fantasia was recently recognized as one of Time100’s Most Influential People of 2024, and in 2023 was selected as one of the entertainment industry’s brightest stars by Variety for its “Power of Women” honor and as one of Elle Magazine’s 2023 “Women in Hollywood.”

Reprising her Broadway role, in her major motion picture debut, Fantasia dazzled in the lead role of Celie in Warner Bros’ modern adaptation of “The Color Purple,” with the second-biggest Christmas Day opening in box office history. For her starring role, Fantasia was honored with the prestigious Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture award at the 55th NAACP Image Awards ceremony and received nominations from BAFTA for Best Leading Actress and The Golden Globes for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, as well as Drama Movie Star of the Year from the People’s Choice Awards. The cast was recognized at the Critics’ Choice Awards Celebration of Cinema & TV with the Ensemble Award while garnering nominations from both SAG and the Critics’ Choice Association.

Fantasia followed her 2004 “American Idol” win with the release of her Platinum-selling debut album, “Free Yourself,” and became the first artist in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart to debut at No. 1 with her first single “I Believe.” While “Truth,” the second single from the album, also claimed the No. 1 spot and remained for 14 weeks. Since the release of “Free Yourself,” Fantasia has gone on to release six additional studio albums, including her self-title sophomore effort “Back to Me” (2011), which featured the Grammy Award-winning single “Bittersweet.” Fantasia’s fifth studio album “The Definition of…” (2016) debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B chart and No. 6 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart, with her first holiday album “Christmas After Midnight” (2017) accompanied by a sold-out holiday tour. Fantasia has enjoyed chart-topping triple-Platinum and multi-platform success since her 2004 win.

Joining Fantasia is Grammy-Award nominated singer, songwriter, producer and actor Tank. With a career spanning over two decades, this chart-topping artist has released a number of hits over the years, including "When We" and "Maybe I Deserve," earning a reputation as one of R&B's most notable talents.
