Jacqueline is a Los Angelina born and raised. Because her mom Liane
Curtis (16 Candles) wanted to keep the family's 2nd language going, she
has spoken to Jacqueline primarily in French at home from birth to
present. To reinforce the French, Jacqueline was sent to French
pre-school and to Le Lycee Francais de Los Angeles for Kindergarden and
1st Grade. Now in middle school she is thriving both academically,
socially and musically. She still understands French but is very shy
about speaking it. Jacqueline loves singing and pretty much does it all
day long. Not only does she sing but she composes original material and
performs live about once a month here in Los Angeles. Spin Move Records
will be releasing her 1st single Best Life written & produced by Ainjel
Emme, on iTunes in 2012. Jacqueline is a natural performer. At 4 and 5
when mom was experimenting with playing out, she performed music with
her at clubs such as Ghengis Cohen, Temple Bar and at McCabes and was
fearless about it back then too. Jacqueline holds an Black Belt in Tae
Kwon Do. She has been training since September 21, 2005. Miss Mackenzie
stayed on schedule and got her 1st Poom (Junior Black Belt) on June 5,
2010. Jacqueline's love and fierce passion for both music and acting
are quite evident. She has an amazing sense of truth and camera loves
her face. Jacqueline is 3rd generation composer on her maternal
grandmother,Paulette Girard's (The Boyfriend, whose works were recorded
by Coltrane, Carmen McRae,Hank Jones)side. Jacqueline is a very
creative young lady both in life and where her craft is concerned.
Jacqueline has 2 big brothers one graduated SFSU and the other attends
Cal Berkeley. Jacqueline also has a Caique named Velcro who lives up to
his name and goes literally everywhere with her.
