'Orange Is The New Black' News: Star Jackie Cruz to Release Selena Quintanilla Tribute Video

Actress Jackie Cruz, better known for her role of Flaca in "Orange Is the New Black," will be releasing a music tribute in honor of the late Selena Quintanilla.

The New York City-born Cruz is not only a skilled actress but is also a talented singer who has her own band. Cruz is using her musical talents to celebrate the life of the iconic legendary singer.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Cruz will be releasing a cover of the singer's song "Como La Flor," and is currently shooting a video for it as well.

The Dominican star also shared an image from the video shoot, which she was shooting in Brooklyn, New York.

The star reposted a photo of fan art that Quintanilla's brother, A.B. Quintanilla, shared on his Instagram account. Cruz captioned the image with, "'The goal isn't to Live forever But to create something that will.' Your Music lives on forever. #Selena. You are my inspiration. #wce."

The actress said, while she isn't leaving the Netflix series anytime soon, she is just as passionate about music and performing live.

"I love doing acoustic sets," she said.

"It doesn't matter if I make money for it," Cruz explained. "I don't think I've made a dime from it actually, because my band is expensive so I actually have to pay them out of my own pocket! But I don't care."

The actress plans on working on her own music in the future, and, in an interview with Remezcla, the actress explained where she gets her inspiration.

"I definitely write about my past experiences, happy moments in my life, sad moments in my life, heartbreaks," the Latina said.

"I'm vulnerable because I'm singing about my experiences and it's scary to put yourself out there but, that's the way I do it. I write with my guitar and I take it to the studio and whatever producer I working with, we create a melody and from there that's how it happens."
