Eden also took lessons in multiple dance theories starting at age four, including : Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical, and Gymnastics. In 2010 Eden and her family made a great move to San Antonio, Texas! There she began searching for a new coach and started her first performing arts training along with dance, and vocals at The Performing Arts Of San Antonio with Vaughn Taylor and Paul Tinder. She also trained privately with actor, Lance Camarillo, and vocalist/vocal coach, Roberta Morales. Eden is currently training with Timothy Birt, a vocal coach and opera vocalist himself. Training in performing arts is not the only genre she has a desire to be in. Country music is her soul and she is pursuing that by currently performing in Texas with her band, Eden The Band!

There, she may connect her deep love for The Lord with her deep love of performing to bring Him and the children great joy.

Sophia Bibb

Sophia Bibb, mezzo/soprano, is currently a junior at North East School of the Arts at Lee High School, majoring in musical theater. She grew up with a passion for singing and dancing independently of each other, learning how to play guitar at age 12, followed closely by piano. Her singing took off with her guitar and piano playing, and shortly after, she discovered musical theater! As she merged her dancing and singing together, she discovered her passion for acting. Since then, she has been working to better her craft, participating in musicals within her magnet program and doing outside community theater within San Antonio. Sophia has been vocally trained for three years in both classical voice and contemporary musical theater, as well as continuing to play guitar and piano and compose original music. She also continues training in dance, consistently attending class for tap, jazz, ballet, and lyrical. .She loves to share her music and is thrilled to have a job where she can meet and inspire kids every day! (And, of course, the children are just adorable… so that's another perk.) Sophia hopes to attend college in New York, where she can independently pursue theater while majoring in biomedical sciences. Ultimately she hopes to end up on Broadway… God willing, of course.
