\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

*Essence<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The sweet-voiced music\u00a0 star who was attacked few months back\u00a0 in front of her Egbeda, Lagos, residence by three gunmen made this disclosure to HVP, while in a recent chat with her, in Warri, Delta State.<\/p>\n

Essence said, at the moment, a role is specifically being written for her in an upcoming soap opera.<\/p>\n

Hear her: \u201cI am branching out\u00a0 into acting.\u00a0 Somebody told me that he is writing a role for me in his upcoming soap opera . I\u2019m actually a thespian too. I studied Theatre Arts at Delta State University, Abaraka. I\u2019m a legitimate artiste in every sense of the word.\u201d<\/p>\n

The popular female singer said even though she is yet to know the kind of role she will be playing in the soap, she prefers to play challenging roles. For her, acting is part of music because \u201cwe also act while shooting our videos.\u201d<\/p>\n

Essence made her first appearance in Kenny Saint-Brown\u2019s video, Heaven Came Down. As soon as the video hit the airways, it became the toast of music lovers and launching her into stardom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
