Award-winning actor Kevin Bacon formed a band with his brother, Michael and Emmy-winning composer, fittingly called The Bacon Brothers. They started making music in the 1990s and have since released 10 albums. They also go on tours.

Golden Globe-winning actor Kiefer Sutherland, best known for portraying counter-terrorism agent Jack Bauer on the hit series “24,” has reinvented himself as a country singer. He released his first album “Down in a Hole” in 2016. His second album “Reckless & Me” came out three years later.

Twice Oscar-nominated actor Michael Shannon has been a member of the indie rock band Corporal since its formation in 2007. In addition to singing, he plays the guitar and keys. The band has released one self-titled album, and Shannon has written all the songs in it.

Former supermodel and currently an actor Naomi Campbell has released one album. Back in 1994, she released the R&B and pop album “Baby Woman.” It was mostly unsuccessful in the U.K., with critics mostly panning it, but it sold well in Japan.
