Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman (English: Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman, September 1, 1996 -) is an American actress and singer. She began her acting career by performing at the California Shakespeare Theater in Orinda, California, United States, and attended the Oakland School for the Arts and the Cal Shakes Summer Conservatory Program at the same time. She began her entertainment career in her early teens, appearing in the pop-kid version of Katy Perry's "Hot and Cold" video after graduating from modeling classes at Macy's and Old Navy. At the end of 2009, she auditioned for the Disney Channel TV series "You Can Dance" and eventually played the lead role of Rocky Blue in the show and successfully became popular. Several songs she performed on the show were released as singles, including 2011's "Watch Me", a collaboration with Bella Thorne that peaked at No. 86 on the Billboard Hot 100. Zendaya used the show's fame to successfully host "Make Your Mark: Ultimate Dance Off" (2011) and starred with Thorne in the 2012 Disney Channel original movie "Friends". Other songs that Shadea sang in the second season of "Youth Dance" were included in "Shake It Up: Live 2 Dance". As early as 2013, Shadia participated in the 16th season of the ABC show "Dancing with the Stars" and became the youngest contestant in the history of the show at the age of 16. In July of the same year, "Young Dance" ended, and a few months later Shadia's book "Between U and Me" (Between U and Me) and her first album of the same name came out. The album's lead single "Replay" was released on July 16, 2013. It ranked No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 18 in New Zealand.
