But it is I've separated myself from it enough now releasing this new song 'Nights and Weekends,' that is a celebration of the weekend and just life and having fun with your friends and looking forward to time off. And it was also just such a therapeutic process to get it out and package it into one project and then let it be what it is. But maybe some people don't even pick up on those little things. And for me, that's where I feel like I love songwriting because it's an accomplishment to take all of these hidden gems that you have in your diary and you can form them into a song that can possibly be relatable. But for me, I have a lot of little nuggets of knowledge and secrets in there between, you know, things that my ex would know. I'm a very literal songwriter and so a lot of people might listen to those songs and it just sounds like a song about depression or a song about denial, because the EP was about the different stages of grief I experienced. Orrantia: Every single word in my EP was a reflection of what happened. You know, not a lot of people juggle two different industry careers like that at one time but if you can, if you really want to do it, I feel like you can find the time. I love songwriting now more than anything.Īnd there's something I learn new about the industry every day – if it's a fun opportunity that I want to be a part of, and so I try to challenge myself in that whenever I have off-time but it can be difficult. And then, when we're in the big hiatus in-between seasons, that's when I really kind of hunker down and focus on music because it's why I kind of started in the beginning. I'm trying to set up some gigs right now for the rest of fall on my week off. So I would say that in my off-time I spend as much of it as I can focused on music whether that be writing, recording or even trying to do shows. Not a lot of film and television shows will allow that schedule. We also get a week off every month, which helps a lot. Orrantia: Yeah, I mean, we film Monday through Friday for the show and we have weekends off. I would say, just the average outside of filming, the very average – like growing up and learning as you go and trying to navigate everyday situations. I'm 25, so I have grown up while being on this show. You know, it's just growing up being an adult. I would say that I'm proud of being able to navigate life situations now with work at the same time. So I can't say that I'm constantly doing things, but, you know, it's a. I like a lazy day and sitting on the couch. Filming is already a very hectic schedule but then trying to juggle music on top of that, it can be a lot. But outside of that, I would say just, you know, having to navigate a crazy schedule. So that for me, has been something I've learned about myself that I didn't think I could ever do.
But now, I come to set and I learn my lines that morning and I get to the scene and I just do it. Orrantia: I have a really good short-term memory that I never thought I had because I was really bad at like, tests growing up because I would try to cram in like last-minute information. So I get to do both of the things that I love and I honestly don't think I could ask for a better situation. But I love working on the show, I love acting and my character is actually able to incorporate like music into the show. And then I booked this show at 19, 'The Goldbergs' on ABC and it's been seven seasons now we're in our seventh season. So I had no interest in acting, but then eventually I started taking classes and I fell in love with it.
But it was when like, 'Hannah Montana' was a thing. So it's a very unconventional kind of way to go about it. And to make a very long story short, I ended up meeting with record labels and they recommended that I try to get a platform like a television show in order to make music also work. Something I definitely wanted to carry out as a career, if possible. But then it became something way bigger than that. I feel like I compared a lot to kids who just decide they're gonna try soccer for the summer. Well, I've been doing music for as long as I can remember.
