Biography and What Famous For:
Aubrey O’Day began performing at a very young age, stating she was on stage since she was four years old, participating in musicals. She attended the University of California, Irvine, where she studied political science and drama.
Her career took a significant turn in 2004 when she auditioned for MTV’s reality television series Making the Band 3. The show, created by Sean “Diddy” Combs, aimed to form a new girl group. O’Day was one of the five women chosen to be part of the group, which was eventually named Danity Kane.
Danity Kane achieved considerable success, with their first two albums, Danity Kane (2006) and Welcome to the Dollhouse (2008), both debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. They made history as the first female group in Billboard history to have their first two albums debut at the top of the charts, earning them a Guinness World Record. The group produced hit singles like “Show Stopper” and “Damaged.”
However, tensions within the group and with Diddy were often documented on Making the Band 3. O’Day, known for her strong personality and often provocative style, was eventually fired from the group by Diddy in 2008.
Following her departure from Danity Kane, O’Day embarked on a solo career, releasing solo music and continuing to appear on reality television. She starred in her own reality show, All About Aubrey, and participated in other popular reality series like The Celebrity Apprentice (where she was a finalist) and Famously Single. She also made her Broadway debut in 2008 in Hairspray as Amber Von Tussle.
Danity Kane reunited in various formations over the years. O’Day and former bandmate Shannon Bex also formed a duo called Dumblonde in 2015, releasing new music.
O’Day has also gained media attention for her personal life, including high-profile relationships and her outspoken nature on social media and reality TV. She has been involved in charity work, notably founding FAN (Fight AIDS Now).
