    Music[edit]

    A singer known for his passionate vocal style, Pope credits his music aspirations to his early years of singing in church, as well as during theater productions and talent shows at school. He also cites music as a constant mainstay in his life.[10] Outside of his acting and Broadway theatre work, he writes and records his own music. His music gained attention with his first independent single, the self-written, acoustic pop-oriented "Wait For You",[11] which also debuted as a YouTube video[12] in 2015. In 2018, he independently released his second single, the R&B-flavored "New Love",[10][13] for which he also produced its music video[14] in 2017. That same year, in 2018, he released his third independent single, "Feel So Good"[15] and produced its music video.[16] He is a featured vocalist on "Be Great",[17][18] the 2019 single by actress and singer Laura Dreyfuss (under her pseudonym Loladre). He is a principal soloist on Broadway cast recordings for The View UpStairs and Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations, the latter of which garnered him a nomination for Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Albumin2020.[19] Though he has covered music by several artists, including Lady Gaga and Maroon 5, he is said to be working on an EP with accompanying production work from various producers.[10] On May 7, 2020, he released his fourth independent single, a cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time".[20]
