You’ve had a very interesting career.
Tell me about it.
Your brand-new movie is set to release in
September. Tell me about the lead role that
you portray.
My character Gale Storm, is a force of nature.
She’s a legendary funk singer who walked away
from the music business. She had some bitter
feelings with her lover and her label, so she just
said “screw it.” Then 7 years later, she hooks up
with this revolutionary music producer who tries
to get her back in the game.

He kind of coaches her to get
back. He starts out with her
working with a group, and
eventually she falls back in
love with music. Then they
agree to do music her way
and on her terms. It’s closely
based on my life. It’s a great
feel-good story, a good
comeback story. I play the
lead, Gale Storm, and there’s
a soundtrack that goes along
with it. I was so excited when
I heard the music of Childish
Gambino (aka Donald Glover),
“Awaken My Love.” The
album was very funky. Here is
the young & talented rapper/
singer paying homage to the
funk, he also won a Grammy
for his smash hit “Stay Woke.”
He went back to the treasure
chest of funk music and
grabbed what was abandoned
I was inspired to start my
mission to bring funk, r&b and
soul back. If you were to go
see me live, most people are
kind of surprised, because of
the energy I bring on stage, I
got a little James Brown, Tina
Turner—because that’s the era
of music that I really love. So
when we did the soundtrack,
we recorded six songs in two
days. It was an incredible feet
while filming.
