Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman (born September 1, 1996), known simply as Zendaya,
is an American actress, singer and dancer. She began performing at an
early age with the dance group Future Shock Oakland, the California
Shakespeare Theater, and as part of her studies at the Oakland School
for the Arts and CalShakes Conservatory Program. While still in her
early teens, she embarked on her entertainment career, graduating from
modeling work for Macy's and Old Navy to appearing in the video for Kidz
Bop's version of Katy Perry's hit single "Hot n Cold."
Late in 2009, she auditioned for the Disney Channel series eventually known as Shake It Up, landing the role of Rocky Blue.
Several of the songs she performed on the show were released as
singles, including 2011's "Watch Me," a duet with her co-star Bella
Thorne that charted at number 86 on Billboard's Hot 100. That year, she
also released the promotional single "Swag It Out." Zendaya parlayed her
Shake It Up success into hosting Make Your Mark: Ultimate Dance Off
2011 and a role in the 2012 Disney Channel original movie Frenemies.
That year, more of Zendaya's songs were featured on the second season of
Shake It Up and the soundtrack Shake It Up: Live 2 Dance. After signing
a deal with Disney imprint Hollywood Records, she began work on her
first solo album.
Early in 2013, Zendaya appeared on the 16th season of Dancing with the Stars, becoming the show's youngest contestant. That July, Shake It Up concluded, and in the following months, the book Between U and Me, and her debut album Zendaya arrived. The album's lead single "Replay" was released on July 16, 2013 and was top40 on Billboard Hot 100 and number 18 in New Zealand. Her self-titled album Zendaya was released on September 17, and peaked at 51 on Billboard 200.
