Gary Davies sits in with Ariana DeBose choosing Tracks Of My Years

Gary presents the first edition of a new week on Ten To The Top, plus the Oscar-winning star of 'West Side Story' Ariana DeBose takes us on a 10 song journey in Tracks Of My Years.

Gary's guest this week on Tracks of My Years is Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe winning actor, singer and dancer Ariana DeBose.

Ariana made her TV debut aged 18 competing on the TV Series ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ before going on to feature in shows like HBO’s ‘Westworld’ and the original off-Broadway cast of the hit musical ‘Hamilton’

After initially refusing to audition for Steven Spielberg’s film version of ‘West Side Story’, Ariana changed her mind, going on to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Anita.

Ariana’s most recent project is Disney’s new animated musical-comedy, ‘Wish’, released last month. Ariana plays Asha, a 17-year-old girl who makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force.

Gary also has the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top and a brand new Album Of The Week and Record Of The Week.
