About Black Is The Color Of My Voice

Nina Simone was born Eunice Kathleen Waymon on 21 Feb 1933, in Tryon, North Carolina and was a pioneering figure in music, blending genres like jazz, blues, soul, gospel, and classical. Her amazing talent as a pianist and vocalist, paired with her unflinching activism, made her a trailblazer who inspired generations. Simone’s musical career was deeply influenced by her early classical music training, which she used to create a distinctive sound that transcended traditional genres.

Behind The Curtain

Apphia Campbell’s critically acclaimed play, Black Is The Color Of My Voice, tells the story of a talented singer and civil rights activist seeking redemption after the sudden death of her father. As she reflects on her journey, she recalls her transformation from a young piano prodigy with a life devoted to the church, to becoming a celebrated jazz vocalist at the heart of the Civil Rights Movement.

Apphia Campbell is an acclaimed playwright, actress, producer, and singer, renowned for her powerful, politically charged works that delve into the African-American experience. A native of the United States, she earned a BFA in Theatre Performance from Florida International University
