KendraJae

This great and gifted young lady, who goes by the name of KendraJae, grew up dancing, singing and entertaining her parents to artists such as; Lauryn Hill, Tupac and Black Street to name a few.  Her persistent desire to want to be on camera and in the spotlight was the first hint that KendraJae was born to entertain!

By age 6, she began technical training as a dancer in tap and hip-hop,  she had a natural ability to groove to the beat.  KendraJae soon took her dancing to another level, adding intense ballet, jazz and contemporary training under Kelli Leighton. By age ten, she was noticed at a dance convention in Santa Clara, where she was picked up by DDO Artist Agency based out of Los Angeles.  Some of KendraJae’s professional credits include the industrial Macy’s Passport Show in San Francisco, Long Beach and New York,  commercials for Walmart, Coal Energy, and Bratz Dolls and a principle role on the Discovery Kid’s Channel Hip Hop Harry television series where KendraJae was a dancer, actress and rapper/singer. She is also a dancer with the DanceSTARZ if Motivation as well as the choreographer and creative director.

In addition, KendraJae is the author of  “The Top Ten Tips for Pre-teen Success”, a book she co-wrote with her Dad at age 12.  She recently earned the title of protégé for the international touring dance convention The Pulse On Tour.  KendraJae was honored to attend on a scholarship and to assist some of the hardest working choreographers in the business; Dave Scott, Mia Michaels and Laurieann Gibson, to name a few.  She also was an HC dancer at Hollywood Connection, she was picked to assist the faculty in a 2 day dance convention.

KendraJae’s singing career began in June of 2010, when she and her father spent the summer in Los Angeles to focus on her career in the entertainment business.  Two weeks into their stay KendraJae earned a spot in a pop girl group formerly known as “ My Gyrls”, she spent six months recording an album with her group and working on her writing skills as a solo artist.  In November of 2010, after being offered her first record deal at age 16, KendraJae and her family decided to leave the group and focus on her opportunity and potential as a young singer/songwriter. She is currently working with Sacramento R&B sensation and vocal coach, Classic Chris Jones, who has taken her talent to another level.

KendraJae's love and gift to entertain is one that will take her far, but more importantly, her drive and ambition to be successful is what sets her apart from the rest.  KendraJae wants to inspire young girls around the world that with drive, talent and love, you can and will accomplish anything. With her debut performance as a solo artist being on the MonSTARS stage, KendraJae feels at home.  She is looking forward to allowing the world to get to know KendraJae as an artist, not just a dancer!

TJ Lewis 

T.J. Lewis (The Mult-Talented Entertainer) is a fifteen year young entertaining phenom. Not only is he blessed with the gift of dance, he acts, he raps, he plays the piano and keyboard and produces music.

TJ was just two years old when he first began entertaining his family with his phenomenal dance moves and acting capabilities as he mimicked both Michael Jackson and Will Smith. TJ had such a natural talent that he could easily pick up on many styles of dance just by watching. TJ began formal dance training at the age of twelve. He is trained in all forms of Hip Hop dance as well as Tap.

TJ’s professional career started when he was thirteen after he entered a freestyle battle where he came in 1st place and was quickly recognized and picked up by a Los Angeles Talent Agent from Clear Talent Group; thus, his professional career began. A few of TJ’s professional credits has been for Disney XD, Ed Hardy, and Sears where he was in a series of commercials, music videos and on line webisodes featuring Selena Gomez, choreographed by Hi Hat and directed by Dave Myers. He also performed on the red carpet at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

Most recently TJ was cast in a promo for Teen Nick’s “Nightlife” and he was called to dance in the music video of the new teen group “Mindless Behavior” as well as to be on the Entertainers League E-Kidz dance team both of which are choreographed by Dave Scott, choreographer to the stars and of the “Step Up” movies. TJ has also caught the acting bug where he has been cast in a role in the Los Angeles stage play “Pop What You Got”.

Being a young man of faith, TJ believes that God has something great in store for him and he gives God all the glory for all his blessings.
