New Bio (as seen on J5.com):
Libby doesn't remember how old she was when she started singing. "I guess when I began to talk," she laughs. "I was obsessed with Gloria Estefan, and I would always sing along, even if I wasn't in tune." By age five, she was hard at work in dance class. Following in the footsteps of her singer/actress mother, Libby became a regular in the local studios, recording a self-titled CD while in third grade and starring in several TV commercials. Having know her Jump5 colleagues for so long, the group's hectic schedule feels more like play than work. "We work really hard," says Libby, "but we get along so well, it's all worth it. We love what we do, but we don't let it get to our heads and we don't take it too seriously." On stage and off, Libby's group mates look up to her. "Libby doesn't care what anyone thinks about her," Brittany reveals. "If she wants to do something, she'll do it."
Libby can't even remember how old she was when she started singing. "I guess when I began to talk," she laughs. "I was obsessed with Gloria Estefan, and I would always sing along-even if I wasn't on tune." But there is one thing she will never forget: when her parents got her a dance teacher at age 5. "When I was singing, I always tried to move to the music, and my mom and dad were like, 'We've got to get this girl some lessons," she smiles. Following in her mother's footsteps (she sings and acts), this exceptional singer has been belting ballads in the studio since she was 4. She recorded her own self-titled CD when she was in the third grade and has a slew of commercials under her belt. Onstage and off, Libby's groupmates look up to her. "Libby doesn't care what anyone thinks about her," Brittany reveals. "If she wants to do something, she'll do it." And one thing she definitely doesn't want to do right now is date. "I don't plan on it for a while," she says. "I like just having tons of guy friends instead, because you can be close to whomever you want."
