Cyndi Lauper is a groundbreaking Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Award-winning songwriter and performing artist with global record sales in excess of 50 million. Her iconic voice, influential punk glamour, and infectious live shows have catapulted her to stardom. Lauper won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist with her first album, She's So Unusual, and became the first woman in history to have four top-five singles from a debut album. Since then, Lauper has released ten additional studio albums, yielding timeless classics like “Time After Time” and “True Colors,” and the anthemic “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” She’s been nominated for 15 Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, seven American Video Awards, and 18 MTV Awards. In 2013, Cyndi Lauper became the first solo woman to win Best Original Score (music and lyrics) for Kinky Boots. She contributed a Tony-nominated song to the score of the Broadway musical SpongeBob SquarePants and is currently writing the score for the Broadway adaptation of the 1988 feature film Working Girl. A pillar of female success, Lauper was inducted to the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2015, released a New York Times best-selling memoir, and continues to collect impressive accolades across the music industry and beyond. In 2018, Lauper designed and launched a sold-out Home Decor Collection with Grandin Road and added a guest starring role on CBS’ hit TV show Magnum PI to her acting resume. She closed out 2018 by receiving the “Icon Award” from Billboard at its 13th annual Women In Music event and brought down the house with a rousing tribute to Cher at Kennedy Center Honors.
Highlights for 2019 include the release of “Hope,” Cyndi’s first single since 2016, a sold-out Japanese headline tour, and special orchestral renditions of her hits with both the New York Pops and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Lauper was the headlining performer at the WorldPride/Stonewall 50 opening ceremonies in New York, and gave special performances throughout the year - at the inauguration of Governor Jared Polis, at Bette Midler’s annual Hulaween benefit, and as part of an all-star tribute to Emilio and Gloria Estefan, the 2019 recipients of the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.
Lauper’s record-setting debut album, She’s So Unusual, was inducted into the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress. She became Dr. Lauper, as her alma mater, Northern Vermont University, awarded her an honorary doctorate of letters degree. And she landed a deal with Netflix for the development of a new show with Jane Lynch and Carol Leifer, which will shoot in 2020.
Lauper closes out 2019 with her 9th annual Home for the Holidays concert which benefits her charity, True Colors United (TCU), that works to end homelessness amongst LGBTQ youth. In yet another first, the United Nations will award Lauper with the first High Note Global Prize award for her promotion of human rights and her work with TCU.
