Kellianne was born and raised in sunny Manhattan Beach, California where she knew from day one that she'd make a living on stage. She came home from kindergarten one day with a flyer that said, "Have you been bit by the acting bug?" and the answer was undoubtedly yes! After landing the role of Cogsworth in "Beauty and the Beast" that year, the rest is history. From then on it was dance classes, musical theatre summer camps, community theatre, drama classes, church choir, school choir, voice lessons, and master classes and she never looked back.
Kellianne attended California State University, Fullerton where she earned her BFA in Musical Theatre. During her time at school, she fulfilled one of her childhood dreams and worked as a character and parade performer at The Disneyland Resort. Upon graduating, she was cast in her first professional show at 3-D Theatricals and soon thereafter headed to Tokyo Disney Resort where she performed as Slue Foot Sue at The Diamond Horseshoe. She went on to perform as a singer with multiple cruise lines- Viking Ocean Cruises, Holland America Line, and Disney Cruise Line, and spent two holiday seasons performing in the New York City classic, The Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes. She returned to Tokyo Disney Resort to perform in "Big Band Beat" at Tokyo DisneySea and then spent a year in China working at Shanghai Disney Resort performing in "Mickey's Storybook Adventure".
Kellianne most recently toured throughout Japan with a concert tour called "Disney On Classic" where she sang Disney music with a world class 60-piece orchestra. She hopes to continue working for Disney in the future and also has interest in performing in shows such as "Wicked" and "Six". Someday she would love to be in the Voices of Liberty at Walt Disney World.
Outside of performing, Kellianne loves traveling to new places, reading YA books in cozy coffee shops, trying out new recipes, watching period TV dramas, listening to 70s music on her record player, learning to play ukelele, and studying Japanese. She has a passion for Disney Parks and is proud to say that she has been to every Disney resort worldwide!
