PHILPOT
Vocalist
I am a lover of all genres and musical styles. I am classically trained and have been singing since I could speak. From performing as the Lead Vocalist in the North American National Tour of Dirty Dancing, to being a supporting vocalist for Tsidii Le Loka (original Rafiki in Disney's The Lion King on Broadway), I knew that music was and will always be my foundation.
Model
After training in modeling school, I had the opportunity to strut my way into the professional fashion world booking national print ads and walking runways. However, the best part of my experience came when I returned back to that same school as a Model/Acting Instructor and taught 3-5 year olds how to carry themselves, both on the catwalk and in their daily lives.
Additionally, as I encourage the world to stand tall, I also fervently stand behind #TallGirlTuesday. A hashtag that I do not take credit for originating, but for years, I have taken the reins to creatively applaud not only the accomplishments of tall girls in our society, but also all of those keeping their heads held high in the face of adversity.
Dancer
When I was younger, I was wholeheartedly mesmerized by my very first dance instructor, Bette White, who happened to be a former Radio City Rockette. The memory of receiving such a high compliment from her regarding my long legs and having the height to dance with the infamous Rockettes has always warmed my heart throughout my years on the stage. Through movement, I am able to convey the message that anything is possible as I take leaps of faith in my career.
