She’s perhaps best known for her standout performance as Princess Isabella Maria Lucia Elizabetta of Valencia in the ABC musical fantasy series Galavant, a role that really put her on the map. But beyond that, she’s also gained recognition for her appearances in the BBC drama Waterloo Road and her role in the action-packed film The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior. Before all the fame and spotlight, she honed her craft at the Guildford School of Acting in London, England—a solid foundation that led to her professional stage debut in the West End production of the hit musical Mamma Mia!. Now, when it comes to her background, she brings a rich cultural mix to the table, with roots tracing back to Chinese, Jewish, and Indian heritage. She actually spent her earliest years in Shillong, India, before moving to Canada, where she grew up and spent most of her childhood. On a personal note, she tied the knot with Swedish musician Carl Ryden back in 2013, marking the beginning of a new chapter in her life. All in all, her journey—from early beginnings to international roles—shows just how much talent and determination she brings to the table.
Between 2011 and 2012, she played the character Alexia in the well-known British children’s TV series Pixelface, which really helped boost her visibility. During that time, and even beyond, she was also making moves in the music world—because, you know, she’s not just an actress. As a singer, she put out a couple of singles, including “It’s Me (You’re Talking To)” and “Hypnotize,” both of which showcased her vocal talent and added another dimension to her growing career. She definitely made an impression across different entertainment platforms, balancing acting and music with impressive ease.
