Fabulousness and seriousness can co-exist. In fact performer Billy Porter is clear that it’s important that they do co-exist.
In this chat with Fearne, Billy explains why he feels artists have an obligation to speak truth to power if they can, and together they explore why art in all its forms can be such a powerful medium for all of us when we feel we have something to say. Plus, he explains why his singing voice – his greatest gift – became his armour against an often cruel world.
Billy’s single, Broke A Sweat, is out now.
CONTENT WARNING: In this episode Billy tells stories of his own life experiences that include homophobic language.
