Up and coming R&B artist Jasmine Sullivan,
a recipient of five Grammy nominations, takes a leap into acting with
her first film role to begin shooting in April.The Philadelphia
singer/songwriter has a plum role in director Anthony Hemingway's "Red
Tails," reports Billboard. "I play a singer who entertains soldiers,"
says Sullivan, who will appear in the movie alongside current touring
partner Ne-Yo. "I'm really just entertainment for them, but I kind of
get a little relationship going with one of them. So that's very
exciting." "I used to act when I was
younger, in little plays," adds Sullivan, who attended Philadelphia's
Creative and Performing Arts high school. "It never was really a
passion of mine. It's just something I did and I could do. Anything
where I can be creative, I like to do."
Sullivan also has a TV
project in the works but says she can't reveal details yet. She's not
yet sure about a fourth single from her debut album "Fearless," and a
follow CD appears to be on the back burner at the moment. "I haven't
discussed it with the label [Atlantic]," Sullivan says. "They aren't
pressuring me yet. I think we all are trying to get ('Fearless') heard
worldwide. But I am thinking of songs these days. SOURCE:EURWEB.COM
