Watch KJ Apa’s Best ‘Riverdale’ Singing Performances Before ‘I Still Believe’ Premieres
KJ Apa is a 22-year-old New Zeland native that has proven time and time again that not only can he play an American teenager in both TV and film, but he can also sing.
The “Riverdale” lead sings almost as much as he acts, despite confessing it makes him “uncomfortable,” according to People. His upcoming lead movie role in “I Still Believe,” which premieres March 13, places him front and center as both an actor and vocalist.
“I’m super uncomfortable when I sing,” he said. “I went into the studio in Nashville — I did that first before we shot anything — and I think that really gave me perspective on the film.”
This is by no means Apa’s first experience with singing on a set. The “Riverdale” cast’s many musical moments have left many fans wondering: can Apa actually sing? The answer is yes, and he can also play both bass and electric guitar. The actor is also in a band called Legend (formerly The Good Times Boys).
