DAISHA
Daisha started with a back-up dance career that’s spanned
some of the largest urban hip-hop, pop, and R&B acts in recent memory–
Rihanna, Diddy, Ryan Leslie, Letoya Lucket, Santigold, Janelle Monae, Jill
Scott and Beyonce’ to name a few.
However, after reaching the top of the working commercial
dance world, her passion and vision to express herself as a performing artist
hadn’t quite satisfied her own self-fulfillment. “Even before being on the road
for so long, I envisioned an original live experience more theatrical and
expressive than dance alone could reveal about me,” says Daisha, spoken with a
warm smile and a truly endearing attitude. Her artistic presence is noticeable,
and likable. “I began to have intense dreams about a body of material that
reflected me. It included my own electric sound, vibe, and style. I knew if I
really went for it, I’d risk all the hard work I’d built so far, including my
reputation as a professional dancer.” Daisha continued, “I really hope I can
shed light to those who also dream about creating anyway that frees the
spirit.”
Less you think this is the story of just another
professional dancer wanting to be a pop-star, Daisha was trained as a classical
pianist since the age of 5 and also participated in choirs throughout high
school and college. “Music had always been an important part of my life, but
dance became the perfect medium for exposing me to the professional music
industry.”
Daisha’s versatile nature and willingness to never limit her
endeavors continues to land her a multitude of endless opportunities. She has
landed roles on feature films such as, Step Up 2, Step up 3D, When in Rome and
most recently VH1's original movie The Breaks.
She is also the co-founder of Daisha and Alicia Graf Arts Collective
(aka D(n)A Arts), an initiative she and her sister Alicia Graf Mack created;
committed to enriching lives through the arts.
