Best known as a standout member of the all-female pop and hip-hop group Danity Kane, she made a name for herself not just in urban music but also ventured into country with her solo album I’m A Woman. Before rising to fame, at just nineteen, she kicked off a five-year stint as a cheerleader for the Portland Trail Blazers—a role that helped shape her early career in performance. At twenty-two, she stepped into the music scene by joining her first official group, marking the beginning of her journey in the industry. A few years later, she gained wider recognition when she competed on the third season of MTV’s Making the Band, a pivotal moment that brought her into the national spotlight. She and her brother, Marshall, grew up in Bend, Oregon, where their shared upbringing laid the foundation for her grounded personality. In 2003, she married Ron Basada, a talented choreographer and hip-hop dancer, blending her personal life with her passion for dance and music. Throughout it all, she has remained a dynamic force—her story defined by versatility, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to her craft.
After Danity Kane disbanded in early 2009, Bex took a short detour by forming a self-titled band—Bex was really diving into her sound at the time—but eventually decided to shift gears. She put the group on hold because, honestly, Bex felt a stronger pull toward crafting her own music. That’s when she turned her focus to producing a solo album, a move that felt more authentic to who Bex was as an artist. It wasn’t an easy decision, but Bex knew it was the right path for her creative journey.
