ARTrepreneur of the Month–April 2014
I will never forget the first time…I was an unknowing kid marching up a rickety, paint chipped staircase on the outside of an old brick building in a strip mall in Denver to my first dance class. I didn’t know anyone at the studio, or what I was actually getting myself into. I just knew I had a calling to be a dancer. Music and movement light me on fire and I was following my life’s passion. After performing in local and professional theatres, I high tailed it to New York City where I trained with teachers from Juilliard and Alvin Ailey.
The scho
ol of hard knocks knocked hard as I discovered that my desire to share my music with the world meant figuring out the music business by myself. Slammed with challenges and obstacles, I was able to persevere by continuing to envision my goals, daring to win and getting back in the game after set-backs. This lead me on amazing adventures including 2 #1 UK hits, 4 U.S. Billboard hits, performing in front of 1 million screaming people, screaming for a good reason (that’s not something you see every day in NYC) at the Pride Event, and even being hit and bruised by crazy fans from Providence to Alphabet City. Along with Kevin Bacon and Jessica Alba, I am also honored to be the face of Until.org (HIV/AIDS Awareness).
I find inspiration everywhere. I love songwriters who use their words to paint pictures and tell stories such as Fleetwood Mac, Blondie, and U2. I am influenced by meeting people from my travels. I’ve had the thrill of roaming the back bridges of Venice, basking in the majesty and mystery 
of Lady Before Tyn in Prague and darting away from the crushing stomp of an elephant in Kruger Park, South Africa. My favorite books are Man’s Search For Meaning and Long Walk To Freedom. Two of my favorite movies are Lawrence Of Arabia and Suddenly Last Summer.
I also enjoy collaborating with other artists. Fashion is a fun way of expressing oneself. Among my favorite Denver fashion lines are Equillibrium, Mona Lucero, and The Seventh Guilt by Elizabeth Kay.
The program of CREATE MSU Denver is also unique in that it helps artists develop business skills and provides them with both personal attention and a community eager to support their success.
