Laidy Araya

Hi, my name is Araya. Camille if ya nasty. Joking joking.

I thank my ADHD and I thank myself for applying it into business and music and other things and my will power to keep going whether there’s cheerleaders around me or not. Cheerleaders are important. Thank you cheerleaders whether one Or a multitude at a time whether seasonal or just from afar, observing my growth at a distance.

Yes. Ive performed in choir/select chorus. I actually performed at Disneyland in California, got 5th place. Not easy to do. I’ve performed in Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Hawaii, Ohio, Marylandto name a few. A special moment was my performance in Danville, VA. That was a performance never to be forgotten. If someone can get there hands on thatthat would be epic. I would also highlight my performance in Owings Mills, MD at NewTown high school. It was the very first edition of “New Town Idol” (2007) where you can view my background singing performance. If you’re reallllly interested in my music journey, you should attempt to get your hands on my acapella performance at Twentynine Palm High school located in Twentynine Palms, CA between 2004-2005. If you’re a true fan you’d remember my very first mixtape on DatPiff called “The LaidyMixtape”, which was released between in 2009-2010 big shoutout to Bigga Rankin for showing me love back then before DatPiff deleted everything, that was a sad time for a lot of Artist.
