Actress and singer Hayley Orrantia of ABC's "The Goldbergs," who says music is all she's ever known, joined host Kenneth Womack on the fourth season of "Everything Fab Four," a podcast co-produced by me and Womack (a music scholar who also writes about pop music for Salon) and distributed by Salon.
Orrantia, best known as Erica Goldberg on the aforementioned hit show, now in its 10th season ("It's given me everything in life"), says being able to incorporate singing into the character has been the most "special thing." Having always loved pop music, as well as soul and funk, she enjoys being able to "chameleon her way" into different genres.
