Not yet!From where do you draw inspiration to create new art?
From music and fashion. I love to create “moments” There’s something really beautiful in stage presence.Did you ever consider an alternative stage name? What was it? Who would that person have been?
Fabulosa ( for like a day!) I felt like my name was not exciting or dramatic enough, but then realized everybody already knew me at that name so it would be a little bit awkward. So Jaylene has been the OG name that has kept on.If you could learn one new performance skill what would it be?
Doing the splitsWhat is your DREAM SHOW? Money is no object. Who is your DREAM CAST? (dead or alive)

The power inside of you is to be you. The only limit of what you can achieve as an artist is your imagination.! Would you share your goals for yourself, or any advice for others in the community? Keep learning, keep exploring, love on yourself and others truly. Repeat daily and watch your life change.
