What do you get when you mix a little spice, a little edge, a little flirt,
and lots of brazen, sexy power? BEX.
BEX has always been addicted to a strong beat and a strong rhythm. Her
parents enrolled her in dance class at age 2. That addiction to rhythm and
dance soon morphed into a desire to be on stage. By age 6, little BEX was
happily performing in local theatre, and soon studying in her first voice
lessons. She would do anything to be in the spotlight.even donning a fake
beard playing "Tevye" in an all girls' production of Fiddler on the Roof.
Clearly, cross-dressing wouldn't stop her.
BEX wanted to make her living performing, and she chose to study Musical
Theatre at Penn State University. Always the social butterfly, BEX became a
favorite on a campus of 40,000. She was featured in Sports Illustrated in
the front row of the football stadium with Coach Joe Paterno painted on her
abs. She shined in her full curriculum of studio classes, she kept a close
relationship with the university's administration, starred in theatrical
productions, all while loving the nightlife with her girlfriends in tow.
BEX also believes in giving back; she volunteers her time and experience at
her childhood Chance to Dance Studios where she offers a master class to
excite students about the street jazz style - BEX strongly believes in
instilling students with a strong foundation in the arts. At Penn State, she
happily performed at major alumni fundraising events, such as for the Grand
Destiny Campaign which raised over $1.3 billion for Penn State. She also
worked as an ambassador: performing across the U.K. on behalf of the
Worldwide Universities Network, spreading Penn State love at the Orange Bowl
alumni events, and connecting with west coast alumni across California.
Not long after, she joined the first national touring company of The Wedding
Singer. BEX had a dance-heavy ensemble role, and was featured as Cyndi
Lauper, pop icon of the 80's. Playing a club-kid in New York's 1985, BEX
fell in love with her massive pompadour, wild mane-like wig. Desiring that
feeling of fierce power her wig gave her, BEX still rocks a version of that
hair style today.
Back in New York, BEX had a slew of odd jobs, such as working for a
professional matchmaker and dancing in the burlesque world. Always loving to
be in the scene, BEX cozied up to the owners of the hottest clubs and
restaurants. She loved helping her friends get access to New York's
trendiest spots, and BEX loved studying what's hot/what's now in music,
fashion, and pop culture. She soon had an aching desire to reach thousands,
even millions of people.
After writing demos with a production team in Florida, BEXcaught the eye of
the late Bill Aucoin (KISS, Billy Idol) who immediately spotted the vixen's
star potential. Soon, a collaboration was born between Aucoin and producer /
co-writer, Ali Dee (Mary J. Blige, Shakira) who together with BEX began work
on brand new material for her debut CD. The collaboration soon exploded to
include producer / co-writer David Siegel (T.I., Enrique Iglesias),
Director/Choreographer, Derek Mitchell (Faculty BDC, So You Think You Can
Dance) who created a vibrant, striking stage show. |
