Pop Star Betty Who is "Just Trying to Spread the Love"
Pop star Betty Who joins The Art of Kindness with Robert Peterpaul to discuss the kindness of meeting people where they're at, the joy of Britney Spears, acts of kindness from Kylie Minogue, self-love while on tour and more under the kindness umbrella. Thank you for being you, Betty!
BETTY WHO: If you need to know anything about Australian-American pop trailblazer Betty Who, it's that she is a survivor. Born Jessica Newham in Sydney, Australia, the classically trained singer, dancer, and multi-instrumentalist has experienced practically every dimension of pop cultural visibility: going viral with her 2014 single "Somebody Loves You," soundtracking Netflix's QUEER EYE reboot with "All Things," forming deep ties with foundations like GLAAD and the Trevor Project and becoming an LGBTQ+ icon due to her infectious, always-inclusive artistry.
Rediscovering her power as an independent artist, Betty Who kicked off her latest, most triumphant chapter on her fourth studio album, Big, which she wrote in its entirety. Betty explores self-love and acceptance on songs like "She Can Dance," the power of female friendship on "I Can Be Your Man," and career perseverance on the joyous "Blow Out My Candle."
Now my theater lovers, you may really know Betty from when she made her Broadway debut as Persephone in the Tony Award-winning show HADESTOWN in 2023. We discuss this, her amazing perspective on kindness in the arts and so much more of course. It’s a special conversation! I LOVED hanging with Betty and I hope you enjoy hanging with us both for a little bit.
