Na'ShayThe teen market is on fire. With the successes of Mario, B2K, Bow Wow and Lil' Romeo it's time for the young ladies to represent. With a matchless sound, Na'Shay is ready to take center stage. Growing up the only girl in a family of five, some may coin Na'Shay as a tomboy. "Tough YES, tomboy NO," says the determined 18-year-old. Born and raised in Southern California, Na'Shay displayed her gift of singing at the early age of two and has been singing ever since. At the age of 12, Na'Shay began entering local talent shows in South Central. At age 13, she signed her first recording deal with Monopoly Music. Na'Shay made her debut in fall of 2002 when singing two songs on Disney's hit television cartoon The Proud Family. When asked whom she thinks her voice sounds like, Na'Shay smiles infectiously and says, "A mix between Alicia Keys and Toni Braxton. Sweet, but with a loud mouth!" With an appealing musical style, Na'Shay will have you captivated by her soft, powerful, sultry voice. She believes in "keepin' it real" with her lyrics. "What kind of artist would I be if I didn't give the public what they wanted," the little ball of fire says. In due time, she'll show the musical world a creative juice and fearsome soul power that will largely set the tone for future female artists. Na'Shay dreams of traveling around the world some day, but for now she spends most of her time writing, recording and sharpening her skills. When asked what she likes to do with her free time, Na'Shay lights up and bounces in her chair trying to control her enthusiasm and says, "I love to dance, Hip Hop is my favorite," spoken like a true performer. After a long day, Na'Shay is pleased to go home as the humble young lady everyone knows and adores where she can spend time with her family and friends, play freeze tag with her brothers and watch re-runs of "SpongeBob SquarePants!"Na'shay's FavoritesFavorite Food - Pizza (With Extra Cheese!!!)Favorite Movie - Superstar and Rush Hour 1,2Favorite Sport - BasketballFavorite Things To Do - Talking on the phone for hours, and going to the mall to shop!!!Favorite Singer - Whitney HoustonFavorite TV Show - Sponge Bob Square Pants, "I love that show"Favorite Color - Everything Baby Blue "Yeah"Favorite Car - Black Cadillac Escalade with Hyper Blue Lights and 20-Inch RimsFavorite Actress/Actor - Molly Shannon (from 'Superstar') and Chris Tucker "He is so funny"Favorite Clothes - Rocawear and GucciFavorite Song - "Stingy" by GenuineFavorite Shoes - Jordan's, "Baby Blue of course"Favorite Junk Food - Red VinesFavorite Rapper - Little Zane "Just because he is so cute"Favorite Makeup - Mac
