Ahhhkay Taraji P. Henson is ready to flex her talents in the world of music y’all and she’s doing it 100% her way!

Taraji kicked with the ladies of “The Real” recently where she provided exclusive details of her soon-to-be-released EP while also announcing a few other upcoming ventures she has in the works.

“I actually have an EP that I’m working on. Surprise!” says Taraji. She later added, “I’m just working on some really good, feel-good music.”

“I’m not trying to toot my own horn here but it was time for a pivot because I’ve done so many iconic roles, you know what I mean? It’s like, I can’t just, you know…acting it has to be something that excites me and challenges me.”

She continued to by explain how her plans of acting help her to expand in other creative outlets which resulted in her decision to try music.

Taraji declared that her role of Miss Hannigan in the upcoming television musical Annie Live took her back to her roots of musical theater.

“Like, Miss Hannigan in Annie, challenges me. That’s musical theater, taking me back to my roots. So it’s about just continuing to challenge myself…I kept saying that music, I might have missed it because I became a mother so early on in college, but God has other plans for me because the music is just really falling in my lap. Like, it started with The Muppets, and through the Muppets, I booked Miss Hannigan, and it just keeps coming. So, Im gon’ ride the wave. Why not?”
