Chantal (aka Tally) is a Caribbean-American artist (specifically Cuban, Jamaican and Haitian) who was born in Miami, Florida to the world’s greatest parents, Jorge and Tanya. At the age of four, her nuclear family picked up and moved to the beautiful Caribbean island, Antigua, where she was raised until the age of fifteen.
Her love of song and music began in the pews of the Catholic church where she first started using her voice. With both of her parents being musically-inclined singers she was exposed to a plethora of genres and other art forms starting at the ripe age of two. After seeing her first show, Chantal took it upon herself to create her own performances for her friends, family, and reflection in the mirror. This led her to believe she was destined to end up onstage somewhere in the world.
Her theatrical debut was at A Little Playhouse Preschool and she did not stop there. Other childhood performances include 1001 Arabian Nights, Bugsy Malone, Oliver Twist, Les Misérables, The Wiz, and Cinderella.
She also partook in pageants, dance recitals, and acting competitions all before graduating from highschool and loved every second of it!
Chantal then attended New World School of the Arts to further her knowledge of the craft and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Music Theater from the University of Florida.
With the tools and training she’s acquired she will stop at nothing to grant the wishes of her inner child!
Chantal wants to inspire young girls to follow their dreams and live life to the fullest!
