Vin Diesel says his debut single is a way to 'share with you my heart'
And the Grammy goes to ... Vin Diesel?
Diesel on Friday dropped his debut single, "Feel Like I Do," a dance song he revealed on The Kelly Clarkson Show for anyone looking to, well, feel like he does.
"I am blessed that, on a year that I would normally be on a movie set — as you know, that's not possible — I've had another creative outlet, another way to show you, or share with you, my heart," Diesel said on the show.

The Fast & Furious star also said on Instagram that "for so long, I have been promising to release music ... encouraged by you, to step out of my comfort zone." He added, "Thank you for believing in me. As always, I hope to make you proud." Looks like someone had the right idea about how to spend his time in quarantine.
Apparently, the way Diesel feels is pretty good, and he told USA Today that "I am just grateful to be able to make music." Regarding the million dollar question of whether a Fast & Furious musical could now be in the cards, Diesel joked to USA Today, "'Fast: The Musical.' Yes, please. Sign me up." It may be a bit of an unexpected career pivot for Diesel, but hey, more riddick-ulous things have happened. Brendan Morrow
