Savvy consists of five talented young artists: Alan Shaw, Andrew Bowen Stern, Drew Reinartz, Gabrielle "GiGi" LeMaire, and Shaylen Carroll. . The group came together in 2004, drawing attention for their dynamic performances as accomplished singers and dancers. Savvy quickly gained traction with the release of their first CD, "The Road To Fame," which won the iParenting Award. Soon after, they kicked off an 8-month national tour, which included headlining Radio Disney's "Feeling Groovy" mall tour.
As the group gained momentum, it became obvious that Savvy was truly something special and the decision was made to expand their scope into television. "The Wannabes" series was created specifically for Savvy to showcase their musical talents as well as their gifts for acting and comedy. Since then, "The Wannabes" has been a hit in over 90 countries, becoming HBO's #1 kids series in Latin America and a top 5 program for ABC in Australia.
Savvy's hot streak continues to sizzle. In addition to their recent association with Cash Money Records, their TV series "The Wannabes" is debuting as the lead show in the live action programming block for Starz Kids & Family in the United States. Each episode of the show features an original music video that has helped fan the flames of Savvy's popularity as an unstoppable musical force.
It was these music videos that brought Savvy to the attention of Bryan "Birdman" Williams and Ronald "Slim" Williams, founders and co-CEOs of Cash Money Records. Under their guidance, Savvy is currently in production for their debut major label release.
In addition to being talented artists, Savvy is dedicated to "giving back" and having a positive effect on the world. They are ambassadors for The Orphan Campaign in a worldwide initiative to assist orphans with basic needs. While on tour, Savvy has delivered shoes to orphans in Chile, Mexico and Peru and has performed live events in local orphanages. Among other charitable endeavors, Savvy is also a spokes-group for the U.S. government program Best Bones Forever, which encourages girls to build strong bones at an early age by getting plenty of calcium, vitamin D, and physical activity.
