Zendaya has become a global icon with her portrayal of MJ in MCU’s Spider-Man movies. However, the actress has long been active in the industry due to her acting prowess, but that’s not her only talent. Along with her musical and dancing talent, she has amassed a strong fan following who are interested to explore more of her skills.
Having released her self-titled debut studio album in 2013, fans are wondering about her musical comeback but the actress has one bone to pick about the music industry. However, that bone is surely a gain for Hollywood.
Zendaya Reveals What She Dislikes About Music Industry
In a recent appearance on Friday’s episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, Zendaya revealed that she has been waiting for the “right timing” to make her comeback for her musical career.
Though there is no doubt about her passion for music, she reflected on how she doesn’t want to make her music for business but rather something that she enjoys to the core.
“I love music, and it’s something that’s been special to me. I think being in the music industry, maybe it, it didn’t kill the joy of music, but it’s when you put music and business together. Sometimes it cannot feel so good.”
Given that the actress had not actively pursued her musical career, many wondered whether she would ever release another music, but the Euphoria star has already planned.
“You know, I think if the right timing and it came, because I like creating it for myself, but if there was a moment, maybe I would, you know, put out a little something.”
While the actress did not release any new music, she assured fans that her talent would be revealed “maybe one day.” Back in 2023, she surprised her fans with a Coachella performance, singing I’m Tired and All for Us during Labrinth’s set. Both the tracks were featured on her HBO show, Euphoria with the performance receiving widespread acclaim by the audience and fans alike.
Her live performance is enough proof that her fans would widely support her music career, it is quite a gain for Hollywood as her acting prowess is remarkable.
A Lookback at Zendaya’s Acting Career!
She has emerged as a versatile actress in Hollywood, who kickstarted her acting journey as a child performer. Her role as Rocky Blue in the Disney sitcom Shake It Up was her breakthrough role, which flaunted her talent for acting, dancing, and singing, making her a role model for young viewers.
Following the success of Shake It Up, she starred in Disney Channel’s original movie, Frenemies (2012), and K.C. Undercover series, in which she played the titular role. She also served as a co-producer in the series, which further elevated her portfolio. Her acting career trajectory significantly turned after she starred as Peter Parker’s love interest, MJ in MCU starting with Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017).
With her MJ role, she left the Disney persona to gain global prominence, which led her to have a leading role in Euphoria. Her mature portrayal of Rue who struggled with drug addiction and mental health issues, brought her an Emmy Award for for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
Her versatility was further explored with big-screen projects like Malcolm & Marie (2021) and the Dune films. She is back on the big screen with yet another interesting project, Challengers that makes her a full-fledged leading-lady role.
Challengers is now running in theatres.
