Aytes was also excited to portray a real person as she is did with the upcoming biography on the ex-supergroup TLC titled, “Crazy Sexy Cool,” slated to be televised some time in the fall. The experience gave her a whole new perspective on one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, the music industry, and multiplatinum singer-turned-music executive Pebbles. Having the opportunity to speak with the surviving members of TLC — Chilli and T-Boz — on the phone and together at lunch is an experience Aytes said she treasures.
“Shoot, I would say that my perspective was greatly changed more on the TLC movie because I’ve never done a biography before. And all of a sudden I felt such a huge responsibility to tell the truth about the person because she’s real and she’s going to see it. It was absolutely amazing to be given this role, it was an honor,” she raves. “I just found out how much I love to portray real people. Here I am portraying all these characters. And then I’m playing this real person and I felt this huge freedom, as well as responsibility, because I’m not her at all and I’m looking at all the videos and interviews and studying her mannerisms and cadences and that was just so exciting. I had a ball doing it.”
