Aubrey O Day Biography

Aubrey O’Day was born on February 11, 1984 and she is an American singer, dancer, actress, songwriter, fashion designer, and former member of the girl group Danity Kane. On an October 2008 episode of the reality show Making the Band, O’Day was declared no longer a member of the girl group.

O’Day has also modeled for magazines such as Blender and Playboy, and has acted on Broadway.

O’Day developed a passion for entertaining at age five, after performing on stage for the first time. “I lived on the stage, and even at six, slept behind the seats of the theatre,” she stated in an interview. According to her mother, when O’Day was six, she was at a performance of The Nutcracker and started to cry. Her mother asked her during intermission what was wrong; O’Day recalls that moment as the one in which she “officially” realized her love for entertainment.

O’Day played lead characters in various musical productions, including Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, Carmen in Fame, Sandy in Grease, Liesl in The Sound of Music, Tzeitel in Fiddler on the Roof, and Mimi in Rent. She also appeared in Annie. O’Day’s childhood leaned heavily toward auditions and acting gigs more than school. The Notorious B.I.G. and Sean “Puffy” Combs were her primary influences as a child.

O’Day attended La Quinta High School (La Quinta, California) in the early 2000s. She later majored in political science and drama at the University of California, Irvine, and was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority.

After graduating from high school and deciding to go to college, O’Day spent a semester at sea where she developed a passion for helping charities. She worked with service organizations while touring in different countries, as well as refugee centers, orphanages, and mostly with children with AIDS. She volunteered as a Big Sister to an organization called Pink Project, and helped victims of the Hurricane Katrina devastation. Motivated by her passion for charity, O’Day soon created her own organization, called F*A*N (Fighting Aids Now). The charity’s goal is to give therapy and art to children in hospitals.

While competing to be in the band, O’Day formed a strong connection with fellow contestant Aundrea Fimbres. The two made it through two seasons together, and gained a large and loyal fanbase before Combs chose them to be in the group, O’Day first and Fimbres last. Viewers named the two “the AUs” and “Aubrea” (portmanteux of their first names put together), and O’Day declared Fimbres her best friend in the Season 2 finale of the series. O’Day’s friendship with Fimbres, however, later became distant.

On The Wendy Williams Show on August 12, 2008, O’Day stated that she previously dated DJ Cassidy. She dispelled rumors of ever having plastic surgery or dating boss Sean Combs. In addition, she declared then-bandmate D. Woods her best friend and porn legend Jenna Jameson one of her good friends. In September 2008, she told Complex that she likes to watch porn as a hobby and that her favorite porn star is Jameson.

In an August 2008 interview with Broadway.com, O’Day stated she was increasingly irritated with people pigeonholing her sexuality; stating that she looks for “incredible passion and honest love” and not at gender. On December 15, 2008, Fox News reported that O’Day attended a party accompanied with her girlfriend/lover, according to an anonymous friend in attendance. When questioned by UsMagazine.com regarding the gay rumors, O’Day did not confirm or deny the speculation about her sexuality, and once again stated that she could not say “one way or another” what her sexual preference is at this point in her life. In 2009, while on the show Chelsea Lately, when asked about being bisexual, she replied, “Generally, I don’t like to label myself… I want to find someone I’m passionate about, and I don’t want to limit myself to one segment of the population.”

During the 2008 presidential election campaign in the United States, O’Day supported Barack Obama for President. Earlier, before her departure from the group, she got Danity Kane’s bar codes from their albums tattooed on the back of her neck.
