can really do both. I mean act and sign I said,
signing R and B, which one feels more like the
real Keith Robinson where you step out on stage or
on set.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Definitely the music.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I mean without the music, I wouldn't even be doing
the acting. I mean it starts and ends with me there.
I was heavily influenced by Motown myself.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I had to deal with Motown as a matter college.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
So the reason I moved to Hollywood was really for music.
So everything else proceeds that. So definitely the music.

Oh okay, music, Music is everything, man. Music helps people man,
especially in times like we're going through right now. You know,
music and listen uplifting. You know we need that. But
let me ask you this. What's one story from Dreamgirls
that happened on set that fans never heard about?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You know, it was twenty years ago. I mean, the
whole experience was pretty amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I mean for me to pinpoint once, I have to
sit down and scratch my head to that one.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
But the whole experience was great.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I mean seeing Eddie Murphy live, seeing Beyonce, door Thing
