Kayden Muller-Janssen talks \u201cVillains of Valley View\u201d, how music has helped her express herself, and shares a big self-tape fail!\nAbout Kayden:\nWellington, Florida native\xa0Kayden\xa0Muller-Janssen was raised by Dutch parents in the Winter Equestrian Capital of the World. Her immediate upbringing consisted of farm life, riding horses with her professional trainer parents. While she developed a genuine love for her inherited hobby, she realized early on that her performative, theatrical side needed to be unleashed.\nAfter being inspired by the film\xa0Catch the Kid, and Disney Channel\u2019s popular series\xa0Hannah Montana, she knew an on-camera career was her calling. In no time, the aspiring star got into theater as well as performing at home for her family.\nSimultaneously, she discovered she had a talent for singing upon listening to Christina Aguilera\u2019s \u201cReflection\u201d from Disney\u2019s\xa0Mulan. This song kicked off her love for music on a whole new level, encouraging her to experiment with her vocals. She credits Aguilera, Britney Spears, Whitney Houston and Amy Winehouse for turning music into more than just her hobby. She joined a performing arts school at age 10 where she learned to perform songs from The Beatles and No Doubt.\nAfter hearing \u201cno\u201d plenty of times,\xa0Kayden\xa0landed her first major television role starring as Hartley in the sitcom\xa0Villains of Valley View\xa0which recently premiered on Disney Channel. In addition to her acting, the multitalented performer continued making music. She even landed No. 1 spot with her hit \u201cKiss Kiss Baby\u201d on Radio Disney, and the top five most requested videos on Music Choice with \u201cKiss Kiss Baby\u201d and \u201cWalk.\u201d\xa0\nWhile acting and singing continue to be at the forefront of Muller-Janssen\u2019s life, she enjoys normal teenage activities, including go-karting, snowboarding and hiking. She\u2019s also made time for charity work, taking it back to her equestrian roots with involvement in Brooke USA. The organization works to improve the health, welfare and productivity of working horses, donkeys and mules, and the people who depend on them for survival.\nSocial Media:\xa0@kaydenmuller (Instagram, Twitter and TikTok)\nFollow the show on social media!\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\nInstagram: https://instagram.com/thanksforcominginpodcast/\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/tfci_podcast\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\nFacebook: http://facebook.com/thanksforcominginpodcast/\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\nTheme Music by Andrew Skrabutenas\nProducers: Jillian Clare & Susan Bernhardt\nChannel: Realm\nFor more information, go to thanksforcominginpodcast.com\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
