As an infant, Brown began to sing the alphabet immediately after learning it and began performing at the age of 3 upon receiving her first karaoke machine. As a child, Brown began to regularly perform in school plays and beauty pageants while taking voice lessons and piano study. She was also involved with 'Janoskian's member Luke Brooks.
In 2011, Brown's mother discovered Kidz Bop, a website for kids to upload and share videos of themselves performing. She uploaded a video of Brown performing an original number on the piano, with Brown selected as a finalist. After performing Adele's "Someone Like You" to earn her a place in the Top 4, Brown won the 2011 KIDZ Star USA Grand Prize out of 45,000 submissions, the largest national talent competition for kids age 15 and under.[1]
At a school assembly, Brown was told that she won the national talent search by "American Idol" winner Kris Allen. The prize included a RCA Records recording contract and starring role in the Kidz Bop 21 music video and commercial. Allen said after seeing her live, "She went from 'She's good' to 'She is no doubt gonna win this thing."[2]
Brown said she had the opportunity to listen to and select from her top three song choices. After considering and listening to the songs, she said she chose her first single “Hey Chica” because of the up-beat tempo. The song was released June 19, 2012.[3] Brown has performed the song on The Today Show and 86th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. She also performed "Do the mermaid" from Barbie in A Mermaid Tale 2.
In 2012, Brown was named cover girl for Miss Moxie's Holiday 2012 issue.[4] The site praised "Hey Chica" for promoting "clear message of self empowerment and encourages young women to feel beautiful in their own skin."
In 2016, Brown was cast in the series regular role as Zoe Vaughn on the second season of MTV's Scream.

Forfeit by Kiana Ledé is a powerful song about standing up for oneself and not tolerating any disrespect. The lyrics showcase a strong and confident woman who is not afraid to speak her mind and demand the respect she deserves. The song starts with a warning to anyone who dares to cross her and mess with her positive vibes. The repetition of the phrase "better forfeit" reinforces the message that she will not hesitate to cut anyone out of her life who can't respect her boundaries.
As the song continues, she challenges her adversary to say something to her face instead of talking behind her back. She reveals that her dad is a little crazy, which implies that she has strong support behind her and won't shy away from confrontation. The chorus is a call to action, daring her opponent to say something now that she has called them out. The song ends on a hopeful note with Kiana reflecting on the importance of communicating respectfully and not letting anger and frustration take over.

R&B isn't dead we real people do take the time to listen to every single word that the artist is saying, Kiana is indeed 1 of the best by far, I like her music and her style and i for one think that there are undercover thing's going on in the music industry right now too, for instance Drake Toosie roll slide or toosie slide to already be number one on the Billboard charts is definitely some crazy missed managed 💰💰💰 underhanded BS, I mean that shit is lame as fuck I actually thought oh well maybe he made it for the kid's , but yet we see how good Kiana is , and all we have to do is keep supporting her and that will make all the difference in the world period...
