While dreaming of pop stardom, Reneé Rapp built a resumé that most performers can only dream of.

In 2019, she made her Broadway debut as Regina George in the musical Mean Girls — a role that she'll reprise in the upcoming Mean Girls musical movie out next year. Rapp also starred in Mindy Kaling's HBO series The Sex Lives of College Girls.

But these days, the 23-year-old performer is bringing her focus back to her original passion: music. She joins Q guest host Talia Schlanger to talk about her debut album, Snow Angel, and building a following of millions online.
