About Me!
YES Sadé Champagne is my REAL name :)
My name is pronounced Sha-day Sham-pain
I am originally from Orlando, Florida
I currently live in Ventura, California
I just turned 23 years old
I am an all around musical artist, performer, entertainer, and powerful motivational speaker
Like most southern singers, I started singing at church when I was 4 years old
I began writing poetry, short stories, and speeches when I was 10 years old
At 13 I started turning my poetry into songs
I started teaching myself to dance at 13, before that I was the worst dancer in the world!
I have taken dance classes in ballet, jazz, tap, and hip hop
I've been taking private gymnastics and breakdancing classes since I was 18
I sometimes have amazing dancers/choreographers perform and travel with me! They are skilled in gymnastics, hip hop, ballet, hip hop, jazz, contemporary, breakdancing, ballroom, and MORE!
Nothing is impossible! I live the impossible EVERY DAY! If I can do it, so can you ;)
I am very spiritual, but I'm not religious.
I am very involved with churches and my community as a whole.
I became a Spokesperson for the Promised Land World Outreach Center (PLWOC) in August 2009- Founded by Reverends Steve and Deborah Powell. PLWOC is an outreach organization that uplifts, encourages, and helps people all over America and the world! They are currently building an orphanage in Zambia, Africa called "Destined to Live the Good Life." To find out more about PLWOC's Orphanage and donate please go to www.giveachildafuture.com or mail to PLWOC, P.O. Box 343, Willows, CA, 95988
I just shot my first music video for my hit 2008 Mavric Music Award nominated song "Boy It's You"! It was directed by the fantastic Caleb Price! You can watch the video on the left side of my page.
I write 100% of my lyrics and melodies to my songs
I just released my first Mixtape CD "Superstar -N- Training", and you can purchase it here on my page, at Salzer's Record Store in Ventura or when you see me in concert!
I am also an arranger, co-producer, actress, and more!
My singing style is soul sprinkled with pop and a dash of rock, dipped in inspirational, stirred with classic RnB, and rooted in gospel
I love being in front of the camera and taking pictures
I don't believe in luck; I believe in blessings and miracles!
I really enjoy fitness modeling
I graduated from Pacifica High School in Oxnard, CA with honors in music, academics, and athletics
I ran track for 2 years
I was in many plays and theatre productions in high school
Health and Fitness are big parts of my life, and I take them very seriously
Even though I have been through a lot in my short life, I am a living breathing testimony.
I smile every chance I get, and live every day to the fullest!
