Zendaya has said being in Hollywood still gives her "a level of anonymity" which she thinks would be gone if she decided to embrace music as a career.Speaking to Andrew Garfield for Variety's Actors on Actors issue, she said: "I was talking to Sam [Levinson] about this earlier.
I was like I don't know if I could ever be a pop star. It's because as an actor, there's a level of anonymity that I get to have, which I really like."And I get to sort my stuff, whatever that is, through a character and nobody needs to know about it.
"She noted that when it comes to music, "it's all you all the time".The actres added: "Whereas in other forms and other mediums, it's all you all the time. I like the idea that somebody else, meaning Rue [from Euphoria], gets to take on that stuff and I can (have) boundaries.
Learning what's for me."The 25-year-old actress has experience as a pop star, first working on covers including the likes of Katy Perry's 'Hot n Cold' as part of Kidz Bop in 2009, before making her TV debut as a teen in Disney Channel's 'Shake It Up' which saw her release tracks like 'Something to Dance For' and 'Fashion Is My Kryptonite'.
In 2013, she dropped hit single 'Replay' followed by her self-titled debut album later that year, while 2016 saw her release 'Something New' with Chris Brown.While she has dropped songs as part of sountracks for the likes of 'The Greatest Showman', 'Euphoria' and 'Smallfoot', she seems happier focusing on acting.
