Song:Good Enough
Album:Empire: Original Soundtrack From Season 1
Actor Jussie Smollett is best known as one of the stars of the Fox series Empire. Since he plays a singer, he is trying to turn this into a recording career with his debut album recently released. He was born June 21, 1982 in Santa Rosa, CA. As a child, he was in the 1992 film The Mighty Ducks and the 1994 film North. And he appeared with his siblings in the ABC sitcom On Our Own. Then he quit acting and grew up. You might have seen him on a 2012 episode of The Mindy Project. He also released an EP. Then he was cast in Empire as singer Jamal Lyon. He has had some success with some of the songs from the TV show. Columbia has released a soundtrack for each season. Good Enough was the very first single from the season one soundtrack. The album was certified Gold. Most of the music for Empire was written and produced by veteran producers Tim "Timbaland" Mosely and James "Jim Beanz" Washington. Smollett is the most prominent cast member but the others appear along with guest appearances by Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige and Patti LaBelle. Smollett signed with Columbia in 2015. But he released his debut album Sum Of My Music in March on a small label. Swizz Beats is one of the album producers. Maybe Columbia wanted more control than he was willing to give. Smollett continues to star in Empire along with the films Alien: Covenant and Marshall. It looks like music will be a side project. Here's the video for Good Enough by Jussie Smollett.
