From child star to Disney Channel lead, she recorded pop songs that soundtracked a generation's after-school hours.
For the full picture, listen to "Alice" from her later work and the Cheetah Girls track. They show the range from solo pop to group numbers that defined her music.
She was singing on records before most kids learn to read, putting out "Here's to New Dreams" at age seven. The theme song "That's What Little Girls Are Made Of" from her own sitcom became a single, and later she recorded with The Cheetah Girls on tracks like "Cheetah Sisters." Her voice was part of the background noise for kids who grew up watching her on Disney Channel.
She started on PBS's "Barney & Friends" as a toddler, then joined "The Cosby Show" as Olivia Kendall in 1989. After that show ended, she starred in her own sitcom and released albums like "Undeniable" and "This Is My Time." In 2003 she began playing the psychic lead in Disney Channel's "As Visões da Raven," which had the theme song "Supernatural."
