Emmy Award-Nominated Actor Benjamin Bratt co-stars in UNTITLED MUSIC PILOT by Lee Daniels and Tom Donaghy. Bratt will play "Jahil," a talent manager with impeccable taste, a hidden life and a drive for redemption.

UNTITLED MUSIC PILOT by Lee Daniels (EMPIRE, "Lee Daniels' The Butler") and Tom Donaghy ("The Whole Truth"), follows three young women, who form a girl group with hopes of making it big in the music industry, and the choices with which they're faced along the way. Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award, Grammy Award and Golden Globe Award winner Queen Latifah anchors the cast as "Carlotta," the owner of an Atlanta beauty salon, with an amazing voice, who will become a surrogate mother to the three girls - even though she doesn't approve of their musical dreams.

Tom Donaghy ("The Whole Truth") will serve as writer and executive producer on the pilot with Daniels.
