Academy Award-nominated actress and singer Cynthia Erivo will also appear as a presenter at the event. Bassist-composer Adam Blackstone will serve as the evening’s musical director. Blackstone is an acclaimed musical director for the likes of Justin Timberlake, and awards shows like The Soul Train Awards.
