Here is an article on Bethany and her singing.
Bethany Joy Lenz
Although many of her fans know her as an actress first and a musician second, Bethany Joy Lenz is no stranger to the world of music. "Singing is something that I always do," says Bethany. "They [One Tree Hill producers] heard me singing on set. I told them that I've been singing since I was little."
As a child, Bethany started performing in musical theater – the perfect fusion of her two interests. And now that she's a professional, Bethany has continued to explore ways that she can maximize her strengths, both musical and onscreen.
A perfect example? This season on One Tree Hill, Bethany's character Haley has explored a musical career, recording and touring with fellow One Tree Hill Tour performer Tyler Hilton, who plays Chris Keller on One Tree Hill. The producers were going to use a Sheryl Crow song, "I Shall Believe," for an upcoming scene, but after they heard Bethany's voice and style, they had a change of heart.
Fans of the show, of course, can't wait to know what happens between Nathan (James Lafferty) and Bethany's character, Haley. After Haley left abruptly with Chris (Tyler Hilton) to tour, Nathan fell into a downward spiral of acting up at school and drinking, all in the name of missing his wife. But Bethany revealed that she has no idea what will happen next on One Tree Hill. She hasn't seen the scripts for the remainder of the season yet -- so she's just as much in suspense as the rest of us!
Like her fans, Bethany is a huge fan of the show. "I love the storyline," she says. "It's about small-town drama. The opportunity to sing on the show has been great."
She enjoys both singing and acting equally, but when she's feeling creative at odd times, music can serve her better. "When I'm inspired at 2 AM, I'm not going to bust out into a monologue," says Bethany. Instead, she might pen lyrics to a new song or try out some new chords. "You can get inspired in all sorts of weird ways as an artist. You never know what's going to strike you," she says. "It's the little moments – the little graces, if you will."
