Check out our interview with Disney Channel’s “Raven’s Home” star Issac Ryan Brown.
Issac plays the taletelling, mischievous but kindhearted Booker Baxter-Carter, who is both blessed and cursed with supernatural powers, just like his mom, played by series star and Executive Producer Raven-Simone.
In real life, 16 year-old Issac Ryan Brown is building a dynamic and diverse future as an artist far beyond his popularity as a young TV star – a journey which began at age six when he wowed the judges including Howie Mandel (who called him a “superstar”) auditioning for “America’s Got Talent” with a robust song and dance of “I Want You Back,” embodying Issac’s musical hero Michael Jackson and soon developing into numerous music and acting roles.
Issac just released his first EP What I’m On!
