JAMIA’S INTERVIEW WITH SOAP OPERA DIGEST

Posted by MizzReyah | Updates

Soap Opera Digest recently interviewed Jamia about working on Y&R, school and family, among other things. See some below, click the link at the bottom to read the full interview.

Y&R’s Ana has captured the hearts of everyone in Genoa City. Meanwhile, her portrayer, Jamia Simone Nash, has captured the attention of both the entertainment and music world, and even got to perform Best Song Nominee, “Raise It Up,” (from August Rush) at the 2008 Academy Awards. Digest caught up with the 12-year-old superstar, who despite her success, is just happy being a kid.

Soap Opera Digest: How are you liking Y&R?
Jamia Simone Nash: I’m loving every minute of it. It’s very fun to be the only kid there.

Digest: How did you get the job?
Nash: Miss Maria Bell, the head writer, called me directly. She called me after seeing me perform.

Digest: Do you like acting or singing better?
Nash: I actually like them both because they’re both so different. I can’t choose just one of them! I’m going to continue to do both as I get older.

Digest: After doing movies, was it harder or easier doing a soap?
Nash: It was easier because I’m fresh in the morning [laughs].

Digest: Do you hang out outside of work with your co-stars, like Kristoff [St. John, Neil] or Eva [Marcille, Tyra]?
Nash: Not really, because I’m younger and I don’t spend time a lot of time with adults other than my family outside of work. I think they’re so nice, though, and I appreciate everyone’s love and support.

Digest: Are you and Ana anything alike?
Nash: Not at all! We have absolutely nothing in common. I have two parents. My mom is not on drugs and my character’s experienced all this stuff I’ve never experienced. The stuff Ana is going through I haven’t really been through.
