Disney Actors Are Making Music

Zendaya

Zendaya

In September of 2013 Zendaya (Coleman) released her self-titled debut album which includes the single “Replay.” Of course, Zendaya is also known for her leading role as Raquel “Rocky” Blue on the hit Disney Channel show “Shake It Up,” where her character could be seen going through the ups and downs of teen life with her best friend Cece.  She was also featured in Season 16 of “Dancing with the Stars” (second place and youngest contestant ever) and the 2012 film “Frenemies.”

Zendaya has grown up surrounded by theater and music, having studied at six different schools of theater. She is ambitious and follows her heart in all things. Zendaya’s music could be called modern pop. It has a unique quality that draws you in. Zendaya works hard to create her own style and make the statement she wants. Her single “Replay” is not what you would expect from a 17 year-old. It sounds more mature and reminds you of older singers like Michael Jackson or Lady Gaga. Her triple threat skills are sure to develop even further. On top of that, she’s also written a book and designed a clothing line. Stay tuned for more from Zendaya.
