Meet the XOMG Pop girls
Kiya
As per her bio, "With JoJo Siwa as her biggest inspiration, it's no surprise that Kiya is interested in dancing, singing, acting, and being her true, authentic self! Kiya is from Orange, California, and has been dancing since she was 5 – preferring dance styles with energy. When not dancing her favorite jazz-funk & hip hop combos, you'll find Kiya on her hoverboard, making TikToks, or playing games with her family. Kiya collects records, everything vintage, and is taking guitar lessons. If you want to know how to pronounce Kiya's Ukrainian last name, she'll tell you, 'it sounds like a magician!'"
When it comes to music, she enjoys works by JoJo Siwa, Gwen Stefani, Little Mix, 5th Harmony and Kelly Clarkson; her favourite subjects are creative writing and science.
Brooklynn
As per her bio, "A talented singer and competitive dancer, Brooklynn, from Ft. Worth, Texas, is also known for being sweet and humble. When the music of an ice cream truck is heard, it's Brooklynn who grabs her birthday money to treat her friends and family! Brooklynn has been dancing since she was 4 and has taken voice for the last 2 years. Her musical influences include: Michael Jackson, the Jackson 5, Janet Jackson, and JoJo Siwa. Even though Brooklynn is sweet, she loves playing pranks (but has a hard time not cracking up.) You'll always catch Brooklynn in one of her signature headbands, which she wears even while she's sleeping!" Brooklynn enjoys science and maths and her favourite form of dance is jazz.
Leigha
As per her bio, "Leigha loves her country roots and her big, fun family! A triple-threat from Rowlett, Texas Leigha plays the ukulele, sings, and goes to a Performing Arts school where she gets to practice her favorite subject – dance – everyday! Leigha is known for loving butterflies, which she uses to embellish her hair, clothes, and accessories. One thing people might not know about Leigha is that she has Spina Bifida – she was too sick to dance before the age of 6, but by age 7 was competing – showing that she doesn't let anything hold her back from doing what she loves!" Leigha enjoys biology and listens to Dear Evan Hansen and The J Team.
Dallas
As per her bio, "A soulful singer who’s been dancing since she was 4, Dallas’ interests in the arts are wide-ranging. For Dallas, music is a family affair – from performing with her extended family in her living room to learning piano from her dad and bass guitar from her uncle, she loves performing and writing her own music. In addition to singing and dancing, Dallas loves the poetry of Shel Silverstein, Japanese art, learning foreign languages, and performing science experiments."
Tinie T
As per her bio, "She's opened the American Music Awards dancing with Taylor Swift, been on the Lebanese version of the TV show Little Big Shots, and has talent that is anything but "tinie". Tinie T, from Van Nuys, California is a gymnast-turned-hip hop dancer who brings her flexibility and double-jointedness to the stage where she raps, sings, and dances with swagger. She's got her own style and brings all of her uniqueness to every performance. One of Tinie's favorite subjects to learn is the Armenian language because her family is Armenian." She enjoys listening to Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Ariana Grande and Britney Spears.
Kinley
As per her bio, "There's a reason she's called Kinley Full Out — you get it when you see her dance–but she also lives her life the same way – full out! Her favorite color? Rainbow. Favorite food? Sugar. Favorite place to wear hair scrunchies? Her ankles. Kinley's excitement for everything sugar-filled and rainbow-colored doesn't mean she's only interested in things that are sweet, though – she also LOVES scary movies. Kinley has the awards to prove her dance prowess and she takes her talent seriously, learning piano and acting – she even has her own 'full out' dance space in her house – but one look at her instagram feed and you'll know she doesn't take herself too seriously." Her favourite artists are Meghan Trainor, Dua Lipa, JoJo Siwa, Lady Gaga and The Spice Girls.
Bella
As per her bio, "Leopard print, metallics, and always a cute, fun purse – Bella's signature style matches her vibrant personality. A former competitive cheerleader, Bella started dancing only 3 ½ years ago. Bella's versatility as a dancer – from Ballroom to Musical Theatre to Lyrical and Hip Hop – is the result of her passion for dance and sheer determination. From Miami, Florida, Bella is bilingual (Spanish – English) and loves volunteering in the community with her dad. A perfect day for Bella? Dancing around her house, playing pranks on her dad, and crafting." When it comes to school, Bella enjoys maths, science and art.
