The actress, model, designer, writer, producer, and singer gained prominence as a Disney channel star and later released a hit, self-titled album on Hollywood Records back in 2013. While her team may have wanted to see Zendaya return to music, she says that she doesn’t have plans to revisit her singing career anytime soon.

What I thought I wanted, it’s not what I want anymore, especially] when I think about what I had to deal with in the music industry.” She doesn’t go into detail about what she experienced exactly, but she did fer up some words wisdom for others aspiring to be the next big music artist.
