I also want to produce beats that people want to get up and dance to and have fun.” You will be hearing a lot of new tracks from her over the next few months.
When asked “What was your starting point?”. MADISEN says “After I saw HSM 1, I knew I had to be doing this.” Laughing, she continues, “ It made me so mad that I wasn’t in the movie. I told my mom we had to make this happen for me.” After all, she had been training for this since she was 8 yrs old.
As a dancer, MADISEN began training at age 8 and soon began competing in dance competitions with her competition dance team as well as solos, which she won many first place ribbons. Before moving to LA, she served as dance captain for her high school dance team, “Silver Stars”. MADISEN feels, “This has trained me to be competitive and strive to be number one. It has given me the tools to keep my head on straight and not go crazy. It’s also given me the discipline to work hard and not give up.”
MADISEN also begins unveiling more of her history. “There is very little opportunity to get out and perform so I decided to compete in pageants. I know there is a big stigma about pageants but it has really helped me get where I am now. It also gave me opportunities that I never had before. It is what helped me get to LA.” Currently, MADISEN holds the Miss Missouri Jr. Teen title. In November ‘08 she competed in the National Pageant in Anaheim,CA where she placed 2nd runner up overall out of 50 states and captured the National Most Promising Model title.

This worldwide singing contest landed her a seat next to Miley in the concert video for Mileyworld. Rylie says, “I have grown up with Miley as my idol and to be next to her as a finalist in her contest was the highlight of my career.” Most recentely Rylie made it to the Final 19 out of over 40,000 kids for the new show Majors and Minors.
Rylie found the love for singing and performing at 4 years old while traveling the state with her mother who was Mrs. Missouri America 2001. Mrs. Brown recalled, ”One day Rylie was intrigued by the microphone I would use to speak and asked if she could talk. I asked her to sing a song for everyone instead so Rylie chose to sing BINGO and was an instant hit. I watched her eyes light up after the audience started to applaud and something clicked inside her that day. From that day forward she sang at every one of my appearances.”

Temara Melek is a true triple threat with a humble disposition which seems to make her that much more charming.
Temara has been traveling back and forth from Los Angeles since she was 6 years old as a working actor, dancer and model. It all started after winning first place awards at the Championship of Performing Arts in Burbank, CA where she signed with a manager and shortly after, an agent. At age 12, she and her family finally made the move from her hometown Ft. Collins, CO to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams.
“I have been very blessed to do what I love,” says Temara. She can be seen in the feature film 16-Love as well as on TV shows like Standing Tall at Auschwitz, Modern Family, Incurables, as well as a sketch with Andy Milenakis, which aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live. She also played the lead in a film called Fairy Knowledge directed by Chris "Doc" Wyatt who produced Napoleon Dynamite. You can also see her in many national commercials for the Humane Society, Intramed, EZ Curler, as well as a PSA for the Governors Council for Physical Fitness. She has also done DVDs for Faithweaver and Sing & Play. You can also catch her on several print campaigns for companies such as Edward Jones, Roper Western Wear, FamilyFun, and HP Cameras.
Temara got her start dancing at the prestigious Westin Arts Academy at age 4. Her natural abilities put her on the map at age 7 as the youngest dancer to ever be invited onto the competitive dance teams. She has competed/ trained in all areas including hip-hop, tap, lyrical, breaking, modern, musical theatre and jazz. She has placed first in competitions for her hip-hop solos as well as duos, trios and group dances. She has won scholarships for jazz and hip-hop to the well-known dance conventions JUMP and NUVO.

Now she has turned her focus on becoming a recording artist and is under the creative direction of award-winning writer and producer, Jonathan George of JG Entertainment. She just completed her first single “Pour It On Sweet”, which is a hot dance track that allows her to use her dance abilities while performing.

Her natural abilities won her Cinderella Colorado Mini-Miss, America’s National Teenager Colorado Preteen, and placed her Top 5 on the national level. Temara states, “More importantly, I won in the areas that I love- talent, acting, modeling, community service, most photogenic and Queen on the state levels and placed top 5 in actress, modeling, most photogenic and talent at the national level. I also won most community service hours nationally, which is a huge thing for me.”

Her charity work has been rewarded by the National Presidents Award, 9 News’ Kids Who Care Award, Kohl’s’ Regional Kids Who Care Award, and Build a Bear Volunteer Award.
