Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman known simply as Zendaya, is an American singer, actress, dancer, and model. She began performing at an early age with the dance group Future Shock Oakland, the California Shakespeare Theater in Orinda, and as part of her studies at the Oakland School for the Arts and Cal Shakes Summer Conservatory Program. While she was in her early teens, she embarked on her entertainment career, graduating from modeling work for Macy's and Old Navy to appearing in the video for Kidz Bop's version of Katy Perry's hit single, "Hot n Cold". Late in 2009, she auditioned for the Disney Channel series eventually known as Shake It Up, landing the role of Rocky Blue. Several of the songs she performed on the show were released as singles, including 2011's "Watch Me," a duet with her co-star Bella Thorne that charted at number 86 on Billboard Hot 100. That year, she also released the single "Swag It Out". Zendaya also parlayed her Shake It Up success into hosting Make Your Mark: Ultimate Dance Off 2011 and a role in the 2012 Disney Channel original movie Frenemies, alongside Bella Thorne. That year, more of Zendaya's songs were featured on the second season of Shake It Up and the soundtrack Shake It Up: Live 2 Dance. After signing a deal with Disney imprint Hollywood Records, she began work on her first solo album. Early in 2013, Zendaya was cast on the sixteenth season of ABC's Dancing with the Stars, becoming the show's youngest contestant at 16 and placing runner-up. That July, Shake It Up had concluded, and in the following months, the book Between U and Me, and her debut album Zendaya arrived. The album's lead single "Replay" was released on July 16, 2013 and was number 40 on Billboard Hot 100 and number 18 in New Zealand and was certified platinum by RIAA on January 30, 2014. Her self-titled debut album was released on September 17, and peaked at 51 on Billboard 200. In 2015, Zendaya returned to Disney and began starring in the Disney Channel original series K.C. Undercover as lead character, K.C Cooper. She continued this role into its second season.

A Fashion Model Before the Disney Roles
Zendaya's biography is the longest in the Z letter, and it begins, unusually for this guide, in fashion work itself. She began performing early — with the dance group Future Shock Oakland, at the California Shakespeare Theater in Orinda, and through her studies at the Oakland School for the Arts — but her professional career started as a fashion model for Macy's, Mervyns and Old Navy, retail names rather than designer labels, modelling clothes for exactly the young audience she would soon perform for. From modelling she graduated to the video for Kidz Bop's version of Katy Perry's Hot n Cold, and late in 2009 auditioned for the Disney Channel series that became Shake It Up, landing the role of Rocky Blue. A performer who has been on the selling side of children's and teen clothing before becoming a teen star brings the fashion connection with her rather than acquiring it later.
Shake It Up was a dance show, and the music followed the dancing: several songs she performed on the show were released as singles, including Watch Me in 2011, a duet with co-star Bella Thorne that charted at number 86 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the single Swag It Out the same year. She hosted Make Your Mark: Ultimate Dance Off 2011 and appeared with Thorne in the 2012 Disney Channel movie Frenemies, while more of her songs featured in the show's second season and its soundtrack album.
The Album, the Dance Final and K.C. Undercover
After signing with Disney's Hollywood Records she began work on a first solo album. Early in 2013 she was cast on the sixteenth season of Dancing with the Stars, becoming the show's youngest contestant at 16 and placing runner-up — a competition where costume is half the spectacle, judged weekly in front of a mass audience. That July Shake It Up concluded; in the following months her book Between U and Me and her debut album Zendaya both arrived, the album released on September 17, 2013 and peaking at 51 on the Billboard 200, with Replay as its lead single. In 2015 she returned to Disney in the lead role of K.C. Cooper in K.C. Undercover, continuing into its second season — a lead of her own series, several professional chapters past the department-store modelling where the record starts.
The resource list is the full set: the blog search for Zendaya Coleman, her own website, her Instagram, Twitter and Facebook accounts, her Wikipedia and IMDb pages, and a YouTube link. In the Z index her page stands between Zac Efron's and Zoe Saldana's, and of the three it is the one where fashion is a starting profession rather than a consequence of fame — model first, then dancer, actress and singer, in that order.
