What has kept you grounded? * What’s something about your journey people often misunderstand? Act Two: The Music Your new single arrives July 17, followed by an EP in August. * Why is this the right moment for people to hear your voice as a musician? * What story are you finally ready to tell through music that acting couldn’t fully express?
