Today we’d like to introduce you to Zonta.
Zonta, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I came from an entertainment family, so it was the first thing I knew, and I loved it. My mom was trained as an actress by Beah Richards and recorded for people like Tina Turner, while my aunt is Cheryl Lynn whose most famous song “Got to be real” is in Music’s Hall of Fame. I was dancing by age three, and by age size I was acting and singing. I always loved this industry and there was never anything else I wanted to do.
I am currently promoting my new project, Drama Drama, a coming-of-age teen musical dramedy. I play Mo, a music-loving high school student that accidentally becomes part of a girl band. In anticipation of the movie’s release, we just launched a super fun music video for “Saturday Night” that can be watched on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b8CcEDCw9Q&feature=youtu.be.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My career started off very positively and as I became older, I started facing some new challenges. It is not always easy. But I am blessed to work in an industry I love and to be able to provide for myself while following my passion.
We’d love to hear more about your work and what you are currently focused on. What else should we know?
I’m a triple threat, I sing, dance, and act. I love what I do and being able to do all three is a very proud moment for me. Not everyone can do all three very well and that is something I can and worked for my whole life, in the humblest way.
Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
My favorite memory from my childhood is participating in dance competitions. It was exciting for me to compete and wait with expectation to see whether or not I would win. Not only that, we got cool trophies and it was always fun to travel.
