Cait Fairbanks has been at the center of drama on The Young and the Restless as Tessa. She’s fighting for her marriage while coming to terms with her feelings for Daniel. Meanwhile, Fairbanks is shifting her focus to a new gig.
Key Takeaways
- Fairbanks is a musician, much like Tessa.
- She’s dropping a new album in December.
- Fairbanks shared the details of this new project, which is something new for her outside of soaps.
Taking On a New Role
On Y&R, Tessa has been trying to uncover Mariah’s (Camryn Grimes) mystery. Then, she got drunk and kissed Daniel (Michael Graziadei) in a moment of loneliness. How does Tessa really feel about Daniel on Y&R?
Music is what brought Tessa and Daniel together. They bonded while she taught him how to play guitar.
Outside the soap, Fairbanks has been making sweet music with her boyfriend. In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, she shared that she spends time in the recording studio when she’s not filming scenes on Y&R. Most of the album was recorded when she wasn’t as busy with filming.
“Most of it was done last year when there was a decent amount of time,” Fairbanks explained. “Lately, I’ve been very lucky to be working more. I definitely had more time last year, and I think we started working on the music during the writers’ strike, so it was a pretty slow time in general.”
This project has been years in the making. Fairbanks said the release will be available on streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, and Tidal. The album is also available in time for the holiday season, making it a great gift for Tessa fans.
Getting Personal
In the past, Fairbanks used the stage name Ginesse. This time, she wanted to release something personal since much of her past music has been related to the show.
“Maybe I’ll just do it under the same name because that’s how people know me,” Fairbanks explained. “That’s who I am. That’s my name – not the name I was born with, but it’s the name I claim nowadays – so maybe I’ll do that again.”
Understandably, she changes her mind on a daily basis, as we all do. Fairbanks might revert to her old persona one day. But you can still catch her music under her old stage name.
