Alison Sudol

She is formerly known as the singer A Fine Frenzy, and for her role as Queenie Goldstein in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016), as well as its sequels The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) and The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022).

[3] She grew up listening to a wide range of music, including Aretha Franklin, and Ella Fitzgerald and other swing artists.

[4] She cites Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and Simon and Garfunkel as some of her biggest musical influences.

A short demo she sent out received attention from EMI's Jason Flom, who signed her after visiting her house and "listening to her play".

Shortly after, her debut album, One Cell in the Sea, was released to generally positive reviews,[10] and its first single, "Almost Lover", peaked at No.

She returned to Germany, Austria and Switzerland on a headline tour in November 2008 and played in the Super Bock em Stock festival in Portugal in December 2008.

Along with Pines, Sudol released an animated short film and a companion book illustrated by Jen Lobo.

[17] In September 2012, A Fine Frenzy was featured in a campaign called "30 Songs / 30 Days" to support Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, a multi-platform media project inspired by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn's book.

She starred as Kaya in the recurring cast of the first season of the Amazon Video series Transparent, as a singer and love interest of Jay Duplass' character Josh.

[20][21][22] Sudol and fellow cast member Clementine Creevy recorded a cover of Jim Croce's song "Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels)" under the band name Glitterish.

The film, set in New York 65 years before Harry Potter's story starts, is based on the Hogwarts textbook of the same name, and follows the adventures of its author, "magizoologist" Newt Scamander (played by Eddie Redmayne).

On July 8, 2022, she announced her debut album under her own name entitled Still Come the Night, set for release on September 30.
