We got to catch up with actress Gabrielle Nevaeh Green who recently won the Young Artist Academy Award for Leading Teen Artist in a TV Series.
We’re a few months into this “new normal” and people are learning to adapt. How have you been keeping yourself motivated during this time?
I’ve found great security in the idea that you have to be patient for what you want, but be grateful for what you have. I feel like that’s the biggest thing that I learned from being in quarantine. As far as staying motivated, while the world is at a standstill, I feel like this is the perfect time to keep my plans on building an empire going. I’ve been very blessed to keep the train moving with projects that will be coming out later this year and early 2022 along with my music!
Tell us about your show Unfiltered. What can fans expect from season 2?
This season of Unfiltered is crazier, wilder, and even more fun than ever before! We have some INCREDIBLE mystery celebrities this season, and I can’t wait for you guys to finally see who’s been behind the filter! The punishments have also been elevated too, so keep an eye out for when one of us loses! You’re not gonna want to miss it!
You recently won the Young Artist Academy Award for Leading Teen Artist in a TV Series. How did it feel to be recognized in this way?
It was such an honor to be recognized by the Young Artist Academy for my work on All That. I was the only female nominated in my category this year, so I feel very blessed and thankful that I was able to represent and bring home the trophy!
You’ve been busy and have also released your single “RADIO.” Tell us a bit about the song and the process behind creating it.
“Radio” is my very first single that’s all about having fun and celebrating music itself! We started off by creating a list of some of my all-time favorite artists and songs and we used those as basically the framework of “Radio” and its lyrics! It’s a really great song to dance to and have a blast to! You guys can catch it on all streaming platforms!
When you’re not working what are some things you enjoy doing for fun?
I have a pretty busy life, so in my downtime, I love to chill and decompress. I enjoy watching movies, playing instruments, and hanging with friends and family! I also like to play chess; it’s a great brain workout!
What advice do you have for aspiring actors?
A piece of advice that I would give kids who want to get into the business would be to trust the process and accept the idea that nothing happens overnight. It takes a lot of time and dedication to become successful at anything, so be patient and stay focused on your goal!
