On playing Brook Lynn Quartermaine (BLQ) on General Hospital<\/em>, she said, \u201cI\u2019m having a blast. The cast has been blowing me away, the level of talent on the show is immeasurable. Stepping into Brook Lynn involved a delicate dance between making the character my own and shying away from an exact impersonation of the insanely talented and beautiful Amanda Setton.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cAs long as I\u2019m honoring the essence of BLQ, it feels right,\u201d she exclaimed. \u201cI love Brook Lynn. She can be reckless at times but her heart is always in the right place. At the end of the day, no matter what drama she\u2019s involved in, she\u2019s always protective of the ones she loves. I also didn\u2019t know she was a singer until I booked the part which was such a wild coincidence.\u201d<\/p>\n Aside from being an actress, Lane is also a singer. On her music inspirations, she said, \u201cI\u2019m inspired by feelings or events in my life for lyrics usually but sonically, I try to listen to everything to spark ideas. Presently, I\u2019ve been listening to a lot of Toro y Moi, old LCD Soundsystem, Best Coast and Hamilton Leithauser. Oh and forever Tame Impala\u2026 their new record is perfect from beginning to end.\u201d <\/p>\n Speaking of music, Lane revealed that she has new music in the works. \u201cMy friend Darian Zahedi and I have a new music project called Cadeaux and our first single comes out on September 17, so stay tuned. My other band, Winslow<\/a>, will be releasing our new EP in January of next year.\u201d <\/p>\n Briana Lane<\/p>\n Catie Laffoon<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/center><\/p>\n On being an artist in the digital age, she said, \u201cIt feels great. I used to be in a band a while back where we just played live and sold CDs. There was no Spotify or Instagram then so it felt a little more intimate because you were connecting with fans face to face but these days, I think the benefit to being so easily accessible as an artist is that you can reach such a wider net of listeners.\u201d <\/p>\n For young and aspiring actors and musicians, she underscored that authenticity is key. \u201cBe as authentically you as possible. No one is exactly like you so you truly are your own superpower. Oh and embrace all sides of yourself\u2014 even the ones you aren\u2019t the most proud of. I think it makes us more well rounded as artists when we own everything and learn to integrate it into our work,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n Regarding her daily motivations, she shared, \u201ckeeping my health and happiness a priority, and my incredible friends and family.\u201d<\/p>\n Lane defined the word success as \u201cinner joy marinated with a sense of purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n For her loyal fans and supporters, she concluded, \u201cThank you for watching and for being so welcoming of the new gal in town. I so appreciate it and reach out on Twitter anytime.\u201d<\/p>\n To learn more about multifaceted entertainer Briana Lane, follow her on Twitter<\/a> and on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n Briana Lane<\/p>\n Catie Laffoon<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/center>\n<\/div>\n![\"Briana](\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/primages\/Catie_Laffoon_4.jpg\")
