Amanda Michelle "Mandy" Jiroux (born December 15, 1987) is an American dancer and singer, best known as a member of The Beach Girl5. Jiroux grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and began studying dance at 3 years old. Growing up, she was in the studio 5 to 7 days a week studying all forms of dance including ballet, jazz, hip-hop, lyrical, tap, and modern. Jiroux’s high accolades in dance awarded her many opportunities and during her high school years she traveled the country as an assistant to some of the top choreographers in the field. Upon graduating, Jiroux moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of dancing professionally. Within just a few weeks she booked a job as a dancer for Miley Cyrus. Jiroux traveled on two tours with Cyrus in the United States and Europe and has performed on the Kids' Choice Awards, American Music Awards, Good Morning America, & FNMTV (UK). She is perhaps best known as Cyrus’ best friend and sidekick in The Miley and Mandy Show. The show, described as a "YouTube hit", is said to be filmed for fun by Cyrus and Jiroux and to be entirely their work, with Cyrus and Jiroux editing the footage together. The online Dance Battle between their own M&M cru and the ACDC went viral with the final round of the battle being the featured climactic performance on the 2008 Teen Choice Awards.
Jiroux is a featured dancer in the film Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert and is also featured in music videos for recording groups Fallbrooke (Losin’ It), Varsity Fan Club (Future Love), and Cash-Cash (Party in my Bedroom). She has hosted television specials for E! Entertainment and the TV Guide Network, as well as been a special guest several times on the Ryan Seacrest radio show in Los Angeles.
Jiroux’s proudest achievement to date, however, has been becoming a member of BG5 (short for Beach Girl 5). BG5 is an American pop girl group signed to Rock Mafia Productions. They were the winners of the 2009 Wango Tango Breakout Star contest, which is an annual contest and day-long mega-concert event produced by Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM and hosted by Ryan Seacrest featuring some of the hottest new musical acts.
BG5 have toured the U.S. as well as in Europe and have also appeared on several episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and Khloé & Lamar. Their music has been featured on episodes of The Hills, Degrassi, Shake it Up, The Wendy Williams Show, and Fox Sports Network. Their song "Scratch" was very successful on the dance charts in Europe.
She currently is a dancer for Sky Blu
Jiroux has launched a new project named MJX in 2013. A promo video of Speakers Boom, the debut single has been released on YouTube in May 2013.[1]
