Aubrey
ODay (born February 11, 1984) is an American
singer, actress, songwriter, and former member of the girl group
Danity Kane. On the October 7,
2008 episode of Making the Band, O'Day was declared no longer a member
of the group. Confirmation of O'Day's departure was revealed in
the show's live October 14, 2008 episode.
Aubrey ODay developed a
passion for entertaining at age five, after performing on stage for
the first time. "I
lived on the stage, and even at six, slept behind the seats of
the theatre," she stated in
an interview. According to her mother, when O'Day was six, she
was at a performance of The Nutcracker and started to cry. Her mother
asked her during intermission what was wrong; O'Day recalls that
moment as the one she "officially" realized her love for
entertainment.
O'Day pursued her love of performing through various
leads in musical productions, including Dorothy in The Wizard of
Oz, Carmen in Fame,
Sandy in Grease, Liesl in The Sound of Music, Tzeitel in Fiddler
on the Roof, and Mimi in Rent. She also appeared in Annie. O'Day's
childhood leaned heavily towards auditions and acting gigs, rather
than school. Biggie and Diddy were her primary influences as a
child.O'Day attended La Quinta High School in the early 2000s. She
later majored in Political science and Drama at the University of
California,
Irvine, and was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority
In 2006, O'Day ranked #86 on Maxim's Hot
100 list, #81 on Blender's 100 Hottest People list, and posed for
the magazines. She
walked the catwalk at Heatherette's Fall 2007 runway show at Mercedes-Benz
Fashion Week held on February 6, and recorded a song with R&B
singer Cupid written and produced by D. Harold; Mischke, and T. Thomas,
whose title is "Do Yo Dance" and was the new single from
Cupid's album Time For A Change. O'Day was later replaced on
the album with Christina
Milian.
In January 2008, Aubrey ODay briefly
became the face of Famous Stars and Straps, and landed the role as
Amber
Von Tussle in the Broadway
musical Hairspray on July 16, 2008. In addition, she appeared
in the comedy American High School costarring Nikki Ziering, which
was released in August 2008. O'Day later made a cameo appearance
in Estelle's music video for "Pretty Please" the same month.
Further utilizing her success, O'Day started
her own clothing line called Heart on My Sleeve, which features
T-shirts and accessories
available only online. O'Day made a guest appearance on the reality
show 50 Cent: The Money and the Power. It has been rumored that she
will star in her own
spin-off reality show. O'Day has been featured on the covers
of Jadore, Image, Palm Springs Life, King, Right On!, Dub and Envy.
She has done features for GQ, In Touch Weekly and Us Weekly.
