Miss Adraboo is surely becoming one to keep up with! She is the vocalist of the up and coming music group, Fly Moon Royalty, and can be seen hosting at various events. She has recently found her inner burlesque vixen thanks to the Seattle and NYC runs of Shine: A Burlesque Musical and Oh Snapz! Productions. "Shine definitely gave my perspective of myself a BOOST! Being Lulu-releasing my Lulu and being in my own skin has been eye-opening! A big gal is definitely doin' her thang!" Still however she does not call herself a burlesque dancer, but simply, a performer at heart. She has theatre training, and has been in many plays and productions throughout Seattle WA, but definitely her passion is for delivering some slick notes to your listening ears! Look for the new self-titled release from Fly Moon Royalty and you'll see what she means!

Recipient of the 2009 Vancouver International Burlesque Festival's award for Comedic and Satirical Brilliance, and voted as Vancouver's 3rd favorite comedian in the 2009 Georgia Straight's Best of, everyone's favourite blonde ball of fun has since returned to scene of the crime to help guide new performers into the magical world of Burlesque by co-teaching the very same intensive where she first found her start.http://www.aprilopeel.com/
