Galen Hooks is an LA native who has been in the entertainment industry since she was 7 years old. The ultimate multi-hyphenate (dancer-choreographer-creative director-producer-singer/songwriter-actress-host), she is a chameleon who defies genre and can seamlessly shift between roles both in front of and behind the camera. Whether she's photographing, styling, choreographing, performing, directing, or producing, she has an eye for detail and storytelling that she breathes into every project.
