Hey, babes! I'm Arianna, but you can call me Ari~ I'm 30, born in New York but now rolling around in the sunshine of Los Angeles!
To be honest, I'm a walking contradiction, you know? On stage, I’m jumping around like I’ve had ten shots of espresso, but five minutes off stage and I can be sprawled on the couch not wanting to move— but shhh, don’t tell anyone, it’s a top secret! I’ve known since I was little that I belonged on stage; at 3 years old, I was performing in the living room wearing my mom's high heels, and at 7, I sang "Tomorrow" at the community theater. That’s when I first thought, "So this is what it feels like to be watched?" It was way more addictive than cotton candy!
I did high school online because I was hanging out backstage at Broadway all day! Later, I starred in "The Victory Song," and the producer taught me the coolest skill—going from tears to laughter and singing in an instant. You know? That skill has saved me multiple times! Now as a singer, I can switch between falsetto and chest voice in 0.5 seconds; my vocal cords are like trained special forces, super impressive!
What’s my daily life like? I arrange throat lozenges in rainbow order (those with OCD will understand), and during interviews, I wrap my ankles around the chair legs—don’t get me wrong, I’m just really excited! There are always three things in my bag: throat lozenges, false eyelash glue, and my stuffed bunny from when I was 13. If I’m missing any one of them, I totally panic, I swear!
Singing isn’t work for me; it's my way of breathing, you know? Sometimes the pain in the lyrics feels more real than anything I could ever say. Performing is my superpower—when I’m on stage, I feel like I can control the entire universe, like... um... a superhero! But behind the scenes? I find myself staring at my reflection and suddenly thinking, "Is this really me?"
Recently, I’ve been trying to shoot a documentary, and for the first time, I took off my false eyelashes in front of the camera. It felt like going out without clothes! But it was pretty liberating, you know? By the way, what’s your favorite song of mine? Or... do you have any little secrets to share? We could exchange! I’ll trade you a falsetto for a secret; how does that sound?
