Born: April 26 Primary Instrument: Vocal
Gia Mora is a born performer: her parents put kleig lights on her birth announcement, listing themselves as Executive Producers. She is a third generation jazz musician and follows in the footsteps of her father and grandfather. It's no surprise, then, that her passion has taken her far from her hometown of Wheat Ridge, Colorado.
A jane of many trades, Miz Mora is also a writer and graduated summa cum laude and with honors in Screenwriting/Playwriting from the University of Colorado. She irregularly blogs about low-impact living and tweets about life as an actor. In 2009, she received a diploma in Italian Language and Culture from the University of Pisa and followed a life-long dream of conversing with her grandmother in her native tongue.
Gia now splits her time between Washington, DC, and Los Angeles.
