In the interview with the Knockturnal, he discussed music being his first love before acting. “Music has always been a part of who I am,” says Curtis. The actor plays various instruments including the drums and piano. He described the benefits of playing music as a form of therapy to him.

“Power Book III: Raising Kanan” returns on Sunday, August 14 at midnight on the STARZ app, all STARZ streaming, and on-demand platforms, and internationally on the STARZPLAY premium streaming platform across Europe, Latin America and Japan.
