Model’s Corner Ashley Perez Height: 5' 5" Eyes: Brown Hair: Black 26 Photo Credits- Johny Pena Bio - Since the earliest ages of my childhood I have been very passionate about music. Whether it was dressing up and performing for my family or just singing myself to sleep. Everything was about music for me. My room was my stage, my mirror was my audience and my hairbrush was my microphone. To everyone else it might have been just a little girl playing with her toys but it became something that was going to be carried on throughout the years of my life. By the age of 10 I told my mom this was something that I wanted to do and felt passionate about. I never shared my talent with anyone else but myself, so taking that first step seemed like the hardest thing in the world! I began taking singing lessons, going off to auditions for showcases, events and even performances at my school. Everything was so new to me. When i was on stage i was a whole new person. I gained much experience from those few years. It made me realize I wanted to do this for a living. I loved seeing the songs that i sang come to life. 6 years later i realized I want to be able to show people you are capable of achieving whatever dream you may have as long as you're willing to put the time and the effort in anything and everything you do.
