From the age of seven to 18, Mosaku was also a member of the Manchester Girls Choir, describing her time there as “one of my most precious memories”
“I miss the camaraderie of 42 girls every week, meeting up and singing and that vibration in the room,” she said.
“I’ll always be grateful for my time with the choir.”
Days after she received an Oscar nod for the role, Mosaku was nominated for best supporting actress in the Baftas.
She has already picked up a supporting actress nomination at the Actor Awards (formerly SAG).
“It’s just been the best feeling ever because we really loved this film,” said Mosaku, who has previously won a Bafta TV Award for her role as Gloria Taylor in the TV film Damilola, Our Loved Boy.
“We really poured everything we had into it, and so the audiences showing up and showing so much love for the film last year was so overwhelming and so affirming.
“Now to have these nominations come in, it’s just been the cherry on top.”
The genre-defying film Sinners, written and directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Ryan Coogler, follows Michael B.Jordan in a dual role as a pair of twins – named Smoke and Stack – as they defend their hometown from vampires in Mississippi in the 1930s.
