A verse about Dana Kay: Dana is originally from Brooklyn, New York, but grew up in New Jersey and has currently been residing in Philadelphia, PA for the past ten years. Dana started exploring the arts at an early age. She began dancing at age five and soon after began musical theater, competitions, and pageants. Dancing (especially tap) and singing were her life at a very early age. She studied and performed with some very acclaimed choreographers including Henry LeTang, Gregory and Maurice Hines, and Savion Glover. She attended a performing arts high school and knew that this would be a part of her forever. While in high school, Dana realized that she was a very expressive person. Growing up an only child, Dana did not have brothers or sisters to talk to, so she began using writing and dancing to express her thoughts. The writing became a very important part of Dana's life as she began to write poem after poem, which later paved her path for song writing. Dana continued to attend Temple University where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in Education with a minor in dance education and choreography. She is currently working as a social worker and is in school once again. She will be graduating with her master's degree in May, 2004. When Dana's mother remarried, she was blessed with two younger sisters, one of which is Michelle, the second half of Daishele. Their love for music brought them together to form this group, "Daishele." Dana is so thankful that Michelle was brought into her life. The two of them have been singing together for a while and are very serious about music. They are dedicated, perseverant, hard-working, creative females whose dream is to literally "live music" and nothing will come in their way. The most important thing to Dana is that she enjoys and loves music. She has a passion for singing, writing, and performing that will last a lifetime! A verse about Michelle: Michelle is originally from Newark, New Jersey, and has currently been residing in Philadelphia, PA for the past two years. Michelle was the girl in her family that was singing along to the radio and knew every word to the songs at age three! Wherever there was music, there was Michelle. Michelle competed in many talent shows and has always had a passion for music. In the car, in a restaurant, in the house, even on the street, Michelle was singing! She felt as if she needed to pursue this love interest. When Michelle relocated to Philadelphia to live with her sister Dana, it was the beginning of a beautiful sisterhood, friendship and TEAM!! Michelle is currently working for a social service agency; and Michelle will not stop at anything. The two girls together sing wherever they go; if Dana or Michelle has an idea for a song while in the car, they pull over to write it down, or call their voice mail to record their thoughts.
