OF ‘THE GOLDBERGS’ ON ABC to try to find sort of my sound and how to incorporate all those different elements into who I’m going to be as an artist.
Joe Mantegna stars in “Criminal Minds: Evolution,” which begins streaming Thursday on Paramount+.
Do you see a cross pollination between acting and music, where one helps or augments the other?
I think in some ways, yes. Like obviously from what you have to do, they’re very different worlds. You know, I’m coming into acting and they give me a script and they tell me what to wear and I’m taking on the role of something that’s in someone else’s imagination.
What musical artists have inspired you?
Oh man, growing up I listened to a lot of Brian McKnight, Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion. Very soulful singers, some big vocalists, some R&B. And then as I got into high school, it was more like singer/songwriters like Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson. And then at the same time, within all of that I also just grew up listening to the radio and what would come on KISS-FM and things like that. So I’ve been influenced by a lot of different kinds of sounds. And being a vocalist, I have fun kind of playing and singing within several different genres, which is why I think it’s been a journey

PAIN RELIEF
Whereas with music, it’s very therapeutic for me and I’m able to tell my stories and my experiences through my songwriting. And then getting to perform that on stage, I think is where I kind of pull a little bit of the sort of acting background for me because I’m very emotive, I guess, where I really like to be able to emote on stage and I kind of feel like I tried to step into the mood of what the song is from a performative standpoint. So I think that’s where a lot of it comes in. Or if I’m writing a song where it might not be fully my experience but let’s say some songs I’ve written about my friends’ experiences, I kind of use techniques that I would use within acting to sort of eventually go to a place where I can write from what seems to be a personal perspective.
