Chrissy Stokes Singer & Actress
First off, congratulations on Howard High and it being one of the top streamed shows on UrbanflixTV! How did you get the lead role? Thank you so much! Well, I enjoy reading my Dad’s scripts, and I asked him if I could audition for the role. And I auditioned and I ended up getting it! Tell us about your character in Howard High and how are you similar or different from your character? Nicki is vulnerable, she’s shy.. but she opens up once you get to know her. She is a teen just trying to find her place in life. I feel like Nicki and I are similar in a way that we only open up to people that we feel comfortable around. What was it like acting in a movie with such talented cast such as Marques Houston and Brian White? It was a huge privilege to work with such talented veterans. They are also such humble people. Chrissy what was is like to play opposite of Marques Houston in Somebody Help Me 2 and then work with him again in Howard High? It was awesome, I also felt super comfortable because Marques is like an uncle to me. So it was like being on a job with family. What was it like working with your father, Chris Stokes, who directed this series? It was hard because he is a perfectionist. He is really passionate, so I wanted to make sure I did my best...and the pressure was on. Let’s talk music, what was the first song you put out there and how has your music evolved since you first started? I put out a mixtape at 17 called “17.” I wrote all of my music and it was like therapy for me. I’d say it’s evolved in a way that my voice has become 17 more mature, so I am able to do more things.
