At a recent 54 Below performance, Broadway sensation Syndee Winters captivated the crowd with a breathtaking fusion of “Satisfied” from Hamilton and Lauryn Hill’s iconic “Doo Wop (That Thing).” The combination first came to her during rehearsals for the show and paid homage to both the brilliant mind of Lauryn Hill and the innovative character of Angelica Schuyler. Winters is known for her roles in various Broadway productions, including Hamilton, Pippin, and Motown the Musical.
Winters has also been making waves as part of the R&B duo Butterfly Black with Grammy Award-winning bassist and producer Ben Williams. Butterfly Black’s music delivers bubbly, boogie-centric, and upscale R&B that bursts with infectious energy, perfect for post-pandemic times. Their latest single, “Lifetime,” is a love anthem for today’s time and follows their debut song, “I Just Want to Love You.”
