Blurb from YAMS:

I have always seen the passion in SiKK’s performance. Whether she knows it or not, her recognition and accomplishments are no surprise — to me. Perhaps, now, she will understand why I have ‘hounded’ her so. For more SiKK, kindly click here.

SiKK’s Bio:

SiKK is a 22 year old Hip-Hop dancer and performer from Montreal City, in Quebec, Canada. Inspired by her mother’s devotion and strength, SiKK always knew she would be working in the music business, on stage or behind the camera. Equally stubborn as her mother, nothing would stop her or change her mind. Open-minded, she grew up listening to all kinds of music and developed her good sense of creativity. She learned how to dance by re-producing her favorite choreographers and copying her favorite performers at a young age. God blessed her with this gift. SiKK’s first performance was in the 6th grade when she teamed up with a couple of friends to do a dance choreography in front of the whole school. That day she knew, she would get up on stage eventually for the rest of her life.

In high school, she created a dance crew. The crew did a few rehearsals during lunch breaks, but the only performance they scored was in a church at the end of 2004. In 2005, she met the people that will become her family and the most influential people in her life.

Tribe Alone is a collective organization of performers (dancers, djs, rapper, beat boxer, reggae singer) working together to highlight the positive energy that exists in the urban scene and community. Within three years, they performed in clubs, national festivals, talent shows, and schools and did over 30 performances together. As they evolved individually to discover who they were as artists, SiKK kept pushing on her side. While she was in college, she put together another dance crew, Bonafide and did several shows and video appearances together.

Due to differences, the group last for nearly 2 years but it did not stop SiKK from being on stage, creating, connecting, and networking with new artists. Since 2005, she did over 60 shows and worked as a choreographer and a dancer for few artists in Montreal: Moines de Rue, Juliane, Diaspora, T-Ara, Finess, Souly Track, E’ly, Lukay, Chaplin, Lotus & Troy Dunnit, MuGz, Malicious Malia and many others. She collaborated with Nä-Lij Clothing for their fall 2008 collection. In 2009, she danced in K-Maro’s (famous French rapper) video Elektric directed by NuFilms. Later, she flew to New York with pop singer Malia, to work in her project.

Earlier this year (2010), she opened up for Sean Paul’s concert in Montreal, shot an upcoming music video for Malicious who is coming out soon. SiKK is now working on her personal dance video project L.S.Series, on Novelty, her new art and entertainment organization. She is also going to college to pursue her new passion for cinema and filmmaking. She might start giving dance classes this year; more info to come.

Her main goal is to create, break the rules of normality, follow her heart, inspire the youth, and encourage positivism, by any means necessary. Her supporters are the reasons why she is still dreaming with her eyes open. Through dancing or not, she will be creating and change the game.
