Acacia Brinley (born October 22,1997 in Boston, Massachusetts) but a few months later moved to Indiana, which is where her entire exten ded family lives. Before pre-schoolshe moved to Pennsylvania, she begin Pre-school, Kindergarten, and began 1st grade there. Then half-way through first grade, she moved to Southern California because her dad got a job at Disney engineering office. She moved a couple times around SoCal. Then, the summer before 5th grade, she moved to Georgia for about 4 months but her family didn't feel like it was home, so she moved back to the LA area. At the end of 8th grade, she decided to move to Minnesota.At the time, her dad was working there so it wasn't a problem. She lived with her dad for a little over 2 months but she just couldn't take being away from her sunny SoCal. So she moved back and finished middle school. She currently still lives in the LA area and I'm never going to move away again, she belong here. Over all these years, she went to 15 schools, including Pre-K. I've met many great people and lived in very diverse locations,which all helped shape who she am today. She first got interestedin singing when she was almost 2 years old. She was head over heels for Britney Spears, she started singing her songs before she could complete sentences or even say very much. She was her inspiration to become a pop star. Then when she got older, like 7-8 years old, her dad would carry a camera wherever he went. I'd always be ready for photos or to put on a performance. Her dream of being a popstar started to fade and she decided she was going to be model. Actually, when she was a toddler she was about to be the face a major clothing company. It was between her and this other little girl. Unfortunately, she didn't get it because the clothes were too small for her lanky, long body. Later, when she was starting 1st grade, her eldest brother, Peyton, got a role in the high school play when he was still in Elementaryschool. The highschoolput on "Annie Get Your Gun" and he played the role of the youngest brother which was one of the main characters. After he was in that, she got really interestedin acting. She wanted to be just like him at that time. Playing a character and dressing up seemed like a lot of fun to me. Peyton become a actor and model when she first moved to Southern California. She slowly started to follow in her big brother's foot steps when she was around 11. She got an agent and her parents were her mangers. First big modeling job, she did was for You Rock Guitar. Then, kept working and working. I also started to theater. She did the Passion Play/Easter Play for 4 years. She was also in a play called "HONK" It's the story of the Ugly Duckling. Her favorite play that she was in was "Oliver" based off the book "Oliver Twist".After those, she realized Theater was fun, but it wasn't me. My family started a singing/performancegroup called Vocal Variationsin 2010. She covered popular songs and traveled California, Arizona, and Nevada performingat places like Carnivals and Festivals.The group was not made to go far in the industry but just to give us practice of performinginfront of crowds on stage. She recorded a Christmas Album in 2010 and in 2011 she recorded our first original Album called "Where's Mark?" she wasn't on it much because back then she wasn't the best singer... But she did get the experienceof recording in a studio. V2 (Vocal Variations) went on for 3 years. She had from 3-24 members at a time. People came and went. She had about 65 different people join and leave V2. If she was never apart of this group her voice wouldn't have improved as much as it has. During this time, she als went on auditions and attended acting classes. All the time. In 7th grade, decided to create a Tumblr because she was being bullied at school and she felt no one in her family noticed her existence.Tumblr was her place to escape. Her blog, like most blogs, started out pretty bad, but got better and better. Her dad also gave her his old DSLR Camera (Just a nice camera, like Canon or Nikon) she started doing photography and posting them on her blog, she also, of course, took selfies and posted them. They started getting tons of notes and her follower count grew like CRAZY. She then started making videos for her followers,just being weird me. People kept telling me how much she made them laugh so she decided to make more videos and post them on Youtube. They started getting around 5,000 views each was pretty surprising.
