Amber Riley (The Harp) wins The Masked Singer
Speaking about her win on the show, Harp, aka Riley, said while in conversation with Variety:
"It’s very validating as an artist. It can get very discouraging in this industry, especially as a music artist. I’m pretty much a new artist, even though I’ve been in this industry a really long time… to hear all the amazing things that the judges had to say about me."
She added:
"Even seeing online the things that people had to say about me and how positive feedback has been. My voice has been my lifeline for my whole entire life. It’s saved me time and time again."
She went on to say that she needed the show but didn't realize it until she appeared on it. Riley went on to say that she tried to hide her voice throughout the show by singing in modulation, but the judges guessed her soon after her first performance.
Tune in on Wednesday, December 7, at 8 pm ET on Fox to see what happens when The Masked Singer returns one last time for a holiday special.
