11 anni fa, era il 2006, il fenomenale Antony Hegarty veniva nominato ai BRIT Awards come Miglior Artista maschile britannico grazie al gruppo Antony and the Johnsons.
Ebbene passati 11 anni e diventato Anohni, l’artista transgender è stata nominata ai Brit Awards 2017 come Miglior Artista femminile britannica grazie al disco ‘Hopelessness’.
Anohni, lo scorso anno candidata agli Oscar, dovrà battere Ellie Goulding, Emeli Sande, Lianne La Havas e Nao.
Consapevole della propria identità femminile sin dall’infanzia, Anohni ha atteso anni e anni per accettarlo pubblicamente a causa di “viltà e vergogna”.
Il 22 febbraio prossimo la cerimonia dei BRIT Awards 2017.
