To find a way to scare myself again and do something new and appropriately dangerous is really exciting.
What came later was the confidence to write and co-write that music myself.
The result of those efforts is a 12-track record, on which Platt helped write every song.
He came away with around some 40 songs before locking in on the 12 that made the final cut.
In some ways, the album is a departure from Platts Tony-award winning musical theatre stylings.
She just gives a beautiful song and beautiful stories, he gushes.
Still, Platt hopes his Broadway fans will still find plenty to love in his album.
I tried to really only write songs I felt were about something that required singing.
When theres something complex or inarticulable, you oughta musicalize it.
His performance is both more personal and a result of his finely-honed acting techniques.
It seems, then, that acting and singing are inextricable from each other to Platt.
