Sara Bareilles: Raising Her Voice

Sara Bareilles has already notched success in the record biz and on Broadway, and now she’s taking a crack at the tube.

Sara and J.J. Abrams are teaming up to produce a new Apple TV series called Little Voice, and she’ll contribute original songs to the show — though there’s no word about whether she’ll appear on screen.

She tells the CBC, “Little Voice is about a young songwriter, who’s sort of at the precipice of the first moments of real magnitude in her career. It’s a really kind of messy moment for her in particular, and she’s lovable and she’s funny and she’s imperfect.”

Apple has yet to set a release date for the 10-episode series.
