I was born in San Diego, California to a Filipino father and an American born mother of German and Irish descent. I was raised partially in Japan from the age of three, but spent the majority of my childhood and teens in San Diego where I was a cheerleader in High School. During my childhood and teen years, I was very active in entertainment, starring in multiple stage productions, as well as starting the beginnings of my singing career under the training of vocal coach Joni Wilson. Then, I moved to Los Angeles, California when I was eighteen years old. To further pursue my acting and musical career. While I was living in Los Angeles, I met Alan Rich, who introduced me to producer and fellow songwriter, Geo, and has since lived in various places including Germany and the United Kingdom, continuing to release music under a multitude of successful projects.
