“Make It Pop” is a music oriented comedy which follows three girls away at boarding school. With the help of their new DJ friend, Caleb, the 3 girls come together to form a K-Pop band called XO-IQ. Their K-Pop group is composed of social media guru, Sun Hi Song, future fashion designer and fashionista Jodi Mappa, and smart girl Corki Chang. The girls don’t have much in common, but their love for music brings them together to find fun, friendship and plenty of mischief at their new school. The 4 friends turn an old roller rink into a teen dance club where they can show off their dance moves. The show follows the girls as they go after their dreams of being pop stars and juggle their other responsibilities, such as school work.

I will love to join for my music and acting career
AM 15 years old and am a good dancer. I have a dance crew, we are 4 in number. I am also good in acting and singing. I play 6 instruments, piano, guitar, violin, drums, etc. I am from Nigeria.
I love to dance, sing and act. My talents include playing two musical instruments, the violin and Bassoon. I have a bubbly personality and am always willing to put myself out there in the spotlight. I have had experience in theatre through school productions as main characters and I used to play with MYM for my violin. I have also had experience with dance lessons, however I did not do any exams for dance. I am in Grade 4 for violin and Grade 3 for Bassoon. It would be an honor to play in Make it Pop as it would be like a dream come true.
I have a 11 year old son who is a dancer and a 13 year old daughter who is also a dancer. We live on Long Island.
I love to dance and I love to sing and act but this is a hard time for my family and they just don’t have the money go to the location but if I could, I would be honored to do the job to help my family.
