It actually started from the womb lol my sister was a model and my mom was pregnant with me the agency asked that my mom give them pics when I was born..so she did..I had my first job when I was three months old.
*Did you always want to pursue something in the music/acting industry or did you just randomly find your way into the career?
I was always surrounded by music and dancing so I guess it became a part of me and I loved it. I begged my partents to let me pursue acting when I was 7

Usher, Michael, Denzel Washington, Kanye West just to name a few
*Best piece of advice you've been given?
Always stay focused and positive..and Success is the best revenge
*Tell us about your opportunity performing in Peter Pan and The Lion
King.
Well Peter Pan was fun I got to work with some of the actors that I grew up watching on T.Vand The Lion King was amazing..I think that when I knew I wanted to do this for a career. Performing for a live audience is such a great feeling.
*You've had the chance to dance in such movies like Honey featuring
Jessica Alba and Missy Elliot, do you enjoy your dancing rolls?
Dancing is cool..that comes naturally to me ..I love to dance, I do it everyday so yeah it was fun, but I prefer the spotlight its great to do everything.
*You just did the upcoming Disney Channel Original Movie Camp Rock with Kevin, Nick and Joe Jonas, Demi Lovato and more, tell us about your character?
Barron is the role I play hes an R and B singer my character doesn't say a whole lot, but he sings and dances and has a good time..I am really lucky because I get to sing a whole song on my own (start the party) and (Hasta La vista) with some rap adlibs from Sander and of course we all sing (We Rock) its weird to hear my voice on some of the previews.
*Do you have any highlights from filming the highly anticipated movie?
Between The Jonas' and Demi i'm sure there is a great story or two!
Haha When Meaghan Martin (Tess) was doing her too cool song on stage Joe and I were doing the soldier boy and other stupid dances off stage and we had the whole crew laughing ..i wish we got it on tape..I had great time everyone was so nice (cast and crew) Demi is my little sister I love her and shes soo talented. Everyone is talented.
*Did you guys play any pranks on eachother on the set of the movie? If so what was it? Actually we didnt have a lot of down time so we didn't do any pranks ..maybe we will if theres a sequel for sure.
*Message to your amazing fans!
I really thank everyone for all the love and support over the past few months all the myspace comments ..you guys have been awesome..this movie couldn't happen without you...I love you guys Peace J
