Models-

Morgan Johnson

Star quality tends to show at an early age. Morgan began her career as a performer as a dancer at age 3 to the accolades of an amazed crowd. As she grew she decided that she wanted to dance “Hip Hop”, so she joined a “crew”. After winning top awards in many notable competitions, her "crew" earned a special invitation to perform at Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure in two consecutive years. Additionally, Morgan has performed as a stage dancer for "The Buzz Band" at Alice Radio's 2008 "Summerthang" at Speedway Meadows in Golden Gate Park. Recently branching out from her career as a dancer, Morgan has been featured in television commercials and print advertisements. She is currently under contract for a SAG feature film, "Power and Pride" starring Stephen Baldwin, and has done work on a Disney 3D movie project. Morgan has also guest starred in nationally syndicated television shows "Say What" and "Kids Unlimited". As if that weren't enough to keep her busy, she recently rocked the runway in "Fashion on the Square" in San Francisco, and the FAYE Fashion Extravaganza in San Mateo, CA.

The Johnson sisters started their careers as dancers and have since ventured out in the Entertainment business as a whole, starring in commercials, television shows, music videos and feature films. They worked on a Disney 3D movie project together and both have contracts for up coming feature films. HaleyAnn will be in "Prodigal Son" and Morgan is under contract for "Power and Pride" starring Stephen Baldwin. The girls also enjoyed working on "head of the class" with Chris Brown. They love the industry and treasure the opportunities where they can work at something the love with someone they love (each other). The young girls have just begun and you will be seeing them for a long time.
