I'm Penny!
Finalist on season 23 of american idol
I am thrilled that you're here! I am a Los Angeles based actor, singer, and producer with a passion for inspiring every person I meet to step outside of their comfort zone through my private teaching studio. In my spare time you can find me typing song lyrics in my notes app, binging Love Island, or working on my side hustle... producing for artists and voice coaching! Most recently you might have seen me on American Idol Season 23!
MY STORY
Hey, you! I’m Penny – I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m a Los Angeles–based singer, actress, songwriter, producer, and content creator with a passion for building community through music and storytelling. My American Idol artist project, Pink Penny, is all about goofiness, expression, and queerness, blending dramatic pop, a cappella inspired arrangement, and theatrical performance.
Believe it or not, my (real) start in entertainment came at 14 when I began arranging and leading competitive a cappella groups. I struggled with confidence growing up in a small town, but music gave me the outlet to step into myself fully. That spark led me to teaching voice lessons, winning world-wide competitions as an arranger, and most recently launching Pink Penny – a world where goofy and theatrical are taken seriously.
In 2025, I was a finalist on American Idol Season 23, where my audition went viral for its campy, over-the-top energy and the birth of the Pink Penny Club fanbase. Since then, I’ve been developing my debut EP from my bedroom (yay, female producers!) which explores reflections of my life from growing up in my small town.
I am a proud Honor's College graduate of West Chester University as one of the first students to complete their Bachelors of Music in Studio Composition program. Alongside my own music, I work with singers across genres as a vocal coach and mentor, helping them unlock their voice and artistry with confidence.
In my spare time, I love binging reality TV, making internet content, singing in the car with my closest friends, and curating ridiculous (awesome) sparkly, pink outfits. Oh – and I’m always obsessing over Lady Gaga, Chappell Roan and Cynthia Erivo!
