[edit] Early life

Since her first performance at the early age of 5, Aubrey O'Day has been addicted to entertaining the public. "I lived on the stage, and even at 6, slept behind the seats of the theatre." According to her mother, when Aubrey was 6, she was at a performance of The Nutcracker and started to cry. Her mom asked her during intermission what was wrong, and Aubrey replied, "I'm crying because I am sitting in the seats watching, instead of being up on stage." Aubrey believes that is when she 'officially realized she loved entertainment.' She pursued her love of performing through years with various leads in many musical productions including Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, Carmen in Fame, Sandy in Grease, Liesl in The Sound of Music, Tzeitel in Fiddler on the Roof, Mimi in Rent, and the list goes on and on. From her first competition, Aubrey has not only been recognized by judges and audiences alike, but has been remembered and stood out in a crowd as a star.[1]

O'Day was discovered on the MTV reality show Making the Band 3, founded by Diddy. Danity Kane's album debuted on August 22, 2006, at #1 on the Billboard 200 charts.
