Well, you certainly are
very talented, and you
deserve it.
Thank you.
I heard that you were
recently in L.A.
My father lives there, so
I visit quite often. My
grandmother, Dionne,
also spends a lot of
time in Los Angeles. My
agents at CAA are also
there, so I do a lot of
auditions out there too.
I’m always back and forth.
While auditioning and
training for acting roles,
I have also been writing
my own music and
recording it for release
later this year. As a
singer and an actress, I
think that is why I am so
drawn to musical theater,
because it encompasses
both singing and acting.
Have you ever been to
The Duplex?
I’ve been to a couple
of rehearsals there,
and it’s so cute. Susan
Campanaro, my artistic
director, has performed
there multiple times; she
has a great connection
with The Duplex. She set
the whole thing up. I’m
really looking forward to
it. My goal for this show
is for [casting agents]
to see that I am ready
to be cast in something
and ready to do the work
that it entails. I would
love to be cast
in a musical.
“Wicked” is
my favorite
musical. I get a
lot of inspiration
from “Wicked,”
“The Waitress,”
“Kinky Boots,”
”On Your Feet,”
“Beautiful” and
“Hamilton.”
I could really
see myself cast
in all of these
contemporary
f
musicals.
