Danity Kane's D. Woods likes to stay busy. Since she was very young, she has been enamored with every aspect of performance. She has studied modern ballet and hip-hop and West African dance; undergone intensive vocal training; and honed her songwriting skills. D. Woods has performed in musical theater and dramatic stage productions; interned at New York's Power 105 radio station; appeared in commercials and music videos; and toured as a dancer. The girl tried it all before finally striking gold during Making the Band 3, when she became a member of Danity Kane. A fan of Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder and Jay-Z, D. Woods hopes to bring a little hip-hop and classic soul to the band's

Given her upbringing, Danity Kane's Dawn was destined to have a successful music career. Her mother owned a dance studio while her father was a keyboardist in the R&B band Chocolate Milk. Her parents' talents ignited in Dawn an unquenchable desire to perform. Before becoming a member of Danity Kane during Making the Band 3, the Louisiana native studied tap, jazz, ballet and hip-hop dance; was a cheerleader for the New Orleans Hornets; and was a member of the group Angelique. Often referred to as "the passion" of Danity Kane, Dawn admits that when she's onstage she becomes someone else -- someone wild, crazy and sexy. Now it's time for her to step up to the mic.

By the time she was old enough to talk, Danity Kane's Aundrea was enthusiastically belting out rancheros and other musical styles. By age eight she was a fixture in her church choir, and roles in school plays followed. In her teens Aundrea joined the pop group Intrigue. It was with this group that her love of stage performance fully blossomed. As the youngest child in her tight-knit family, Aundrea headed home whenever possible while shooting Making the Band 3. But that didn't stop her from scoring a coveted spot in Diddy's all-female pop band. As she gears up to start working on the band, she already knows that she has made her family proud.

Shannon was an avid singer and dancer long before joining Danity Kane during Making the Band 3. At 19, the Oregon native learned a great deal about performing with a group when she was a Portland Trail Blazers cheerleader. Known for her eclectic musical tastes, Shannon admires acts like Aerosmith and Garth Brooks and everything in between. As the only member of Danity Kane to sport a wedding ring, Shannon attributes some of her noticeable poise and confidence to the loving bond she shares with her spouse, who also happens to be a dancer. His positive influence helps Shannon push herself to the limit. While she's in the studio working on Danity Kane she knows his love will provide the strength she needs to get through the process.

At age three, Danity Kane's Aubrey stepped onstage and never looked back. She has appeared in productions of virtually every major musical, including Annie, The Sound of Music, A Chorus Line, Fiddler on the Roof and The Wizard of Oz. Prior to being picked for Danity Kane during Making the Band 3, Aubrey won a slew of talent competitions and attended the University of California, Irvine. Her travels have taken her to places like Asia, India and South Africa and moved her to become involved in various charities. In addition to volunteering at battered women's shelters and refugee centers and being a Big Sister, she founded the Fight AIDS Now organization. These things have taught her compassion, patience and eternal love, and she hopes to bring those life lessons with her when she steps into the studio again.
