I’ve been wanting to post on this cutie since re-launching Asian Sirens, but despite being in this massively successful Australian children’s group, there is astonishingly little information about her on the web, and the photo above was the only decently sized one I could find. I couldn’t even find out what her ethnicity is, although I’m guessing she’s Filipina (even though her favourite foods are Thai and Japanese). I don’t even know if she was born in Australia or not.There is one thing I do know about her, however: she’s just gotten married to Daniel Jones, ex-member of the lightweight but even more massively successful Australian pop duo Savage Garden. To add insult to injury, she did it right near where I live on the Gold Coast! Full story here.

Before joining Hi-5, she’d already found acclaim for her roles in the Australian productions of the musicals Rent and Miss Saigon. Hence, she certainly isn’t the kind of performer who could only find work on a kid’s program! Indeed – like the other members of Hi-5 – she is a very capable performer indeed, with a very bubbly personality. In this case, there’s a very good reason why Hi-5 has been so successful!

Here’s a couple of fan sites (with photos):
