Temara Melek has achieved more in her life than most people who triple her age. She is a true triple threat with a humble disposition, which seems to make her that much more charming.

Temara has been traveling back and forth from Los Angeles since she was 6 years old as a working actor, dancer and model. It all started after winning first place awards at the Championship of Performing Artsin Burbank, CA where she signed with a manager and shortly after, an agent. At age 12, she and her family finally made the move from her hometown Ft. Collins, CO to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams. 

“I have been very blessed to do what I love,” says Temara. At only 13 yrs old, she can be seen in the feature film 16-Love as well as on TV shows like Standing Tall at Auschwitz, Modern Family, Incurables, as well as a sketch with Andy Milenakis, which aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live. She also played the lead in a film called Fairy Knowledge directed by Chris "Doc" Wyatt who produced Napoleon Dynamite. You can also see her in many national commercials for the Humane Society, Intramed, EZ Curler, as well as a PSA for the Governors Council for Physical Fitness. She has also done DVDs for Faithweaver and Sing & Play. You can also catch her on several print campaigns for companies such as Edward Jones, Roper Western Wear, FamilyFun, and HP Cameras.

Temara got her start dancing at the prestigious Westin Arts Academy at age 4. Her natural abilities put her on the map at age 7 as the youngest dancer to ever be invited onto the competitive dance teams. She has competed/ trained in all areas including hip-hop, tap, lyrical, breaking, modern, musical theatre and jazz. She has placed first in competitions for her hip-hop solos as well as duos, trios and group dances. She has won scholarships for jazz and hip-hop to the well-known dance conventions JUMP,NUVO and Monsters of Hip Hop. Her abilities have also won her Loveland’s Got Talent as well as a spot in the Orange Bowl half time show with choreographer Shane Sparks (You Got Served and America’s Best Dance Crew). She has trained with top choreographers such as Mischa Gabriel, Tony Testa, Bobby Newberry, Mia Micheals, Shane Sparks, Dave Scott and many others.

Temara started singing Broadway and Pop at age 6. At age 9 she portrayed Veruca Salt from Willy Wonka singing “I Want It Now”, which won her the first place trophy. She took the same song to Vegas in an International Competition and took home "Best Character Vocal". Now she has turned her focus on becoming a recording artist and is under the creative direction of award-winning writer and producer, Jonathan George of JG Entertainment. She just completed her first single “Pour It On Sweet”, which is a hot dance track that allows her to use her dance abilities while performing. 

With very limited outlets for performing, Temara started competing in pageants at a young age so that she could have an audience to which she could perform. Her natural abilities won her Cinderella Colorado Mini-Miss, America’s National Teenager Colorado Preteen, and placed her Top 5 on the national level. Temara states, “More importantly, I won in the areas that I love- talent, acting, modeling, community service, most photogenic and Queen on the state levels and placed top 5 in actress, modeling, most photogenic and talent at the national level. I also won most community service hours nationally, which is a huge thing for me.”

Temara started her own non-profit organization in 2007, called Little Wishes and Big Dreams. She has donated over $75,000 in money and goods to local and worldwide charities. Her charity work has been rewarded by the National Presidents Award, 9 News’ Kids Who Care Award, Kohl’s’ Regional Kids Who Care Award, and Build a Bear Volunteer Award. She is a UNICEF delegate and raises money every year in their Trick or Treat Campaign and was on Selena Gomez’s team in 2009 and was the highest money raiser. She also started "Hearts for Haiti" and had a citywide roller skating party with proceeds going to UNICEF after the earthquake. She is also highly involved with Realities For Children, which helps children who come from abusive families or drug addicted mothers. Over the past three years she has provided enough school supplies/ backpacks for 250 kids each year. She is also an avid animal lover and has volunteered and donated to them. Last year her team "Meow Mix" raised over $800 for the Race for Rescues.
