Actor from 'Modern Family' Discusses Reasons for Significant Name Alteration in Showbiz Life
Actress Aubrey Anderson-Emmons Embraces New Identity as Musician Frances Anderson
In a bold move, the beloved actress known for her role as "Lily" on the hit ABC sitcom "Modern Family," Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, has announced a significant change in her creative identity. She is now going by the name Frances Anderson.
Frances, who was born Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, chose this new name to reflect a new phase in her life focused on her music career. The name is a tribute to her mom's old family friend, and she finds it shorter and simpler, fitting for her new artistic identity.
Growing up in the limelight of the entertainment industry, Frances felt isolated due to a lack of autonomy and self-discipline. This sense of isolation was further intensified when she was the only child on set, a stark contrast to the camaraderie she found in musical theatre worlds.
In an interview with Mundane Mag, Frances opened up about her transition from acting to music. She expressed that music gave her a sense of belonging that she did not find in acting. Frances believes that musicians are more open compared to actors in her experience, creating a warmer and more welcoming environment.
Last week, Frances released her first EP, "Drown." She expressed excitement about sharing her new music and being grateful for the support in her music journey. The EP has been well-received, with fans appreciating Frances's unique sound and raw emotion.
Frances's new name change and foray into music signify a fresh start for the talented artist. She is eager to create a space specifically for music and present a new side of herself to the world.
