Biography and What Famous For:
Aundrea Fimbres began singing at an early age and was part of a pop ensemble called Intrigue during her high school years. Her career took a significant turn in 2004 when she auditioned for MTV’s reality series “Making the Band 3,” created by Sean “Diddy” Combs. She quickly stood out due to her strong vocal and dance performances, becoming one of the first contestants chosen for the group that would eventually become Danity Kane.
Danity Kane, formed in 2005, achieved immense success with two platinum albums, Danity Kane (2006) and Welcome to the Dollhouse (2008), both of which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Fimbres was a core member, contributing her distinctive soprano vocals to hits like “Show Stopper” and “Damaged.” The group toured extensively and became a prominent force in pop and R&B music.
After the group’s initial disbandment in 2009, Fimbres pursued a solo career, acted, and modeled. She briefly reunited with Danity Kane in 2013-2014 for the “#NoFilterTour” but ultimately announced her departure during the tour to focus on starting a family.
In 2016, she married former NFL player Philip Wheeler and has since had two sons. While stepping back from the mainstream music industry to prioritize her family, Aundrea has continued to engage with her artistic passions. In 2020, she released her solo single “Brush You Off,” which garnered attention for its catchy beat and empowering message. She has also been involved in various projects, including touring for Disney’s “Gulliver’s Travels” musical production.
