China Anne McClain on “Hubie Halloween,” “Black Lightning,” and Meeting Michelle Obama

Actor and singer, China Anne McClain, could power a space station with her buoyant energy. In fact, for all we know, she might be doing that right now. She does just about everything else, from sing to act to light up each and every room she enters. McClain, who recently co-starred in the Netflix-released, Adam Sandler-produced Halloween movie, Hubie Halloween, is also one of the three sibling members of  he harmonizing trio, Thriii. But to list her complete resume would take a while. McClain has also worked extensively with Tyler Perry, currently co-stars on the CW superhero show, Black Lightening (as the main character’s daughter, Jennifer Pierce, who is also super-powered), sang the Doc McStuffins theme song, worked with Disney, collaborated with Nick Jonas, and much more. 

We caught up with the 22-year-old McClain to talk to her about her burgeoning career, what it was like working with Sandler on Hubie Halloween and much more.
