Tanesha "KSYN" Cason ( pronounced Kay-Sin), is no stranger to the stage. Born and raised in the Bronx, with her piercing eyes, radiant smile, and over 15 years of industry experience, Ksyn has surely made a name and a brand all of her own.

To add on to her work load Ksyn began stepping and modeling with a youth group in her hometown of The Bronx.

​

“Being apart of this youth group, helped me as a teen. It kept me out of trouble and off the streets. They opened the door to a lot of opportunities that I may not have had. For example how many teens did you know growing up had the opportunity to step at the white house, perform along side some talented and amazing artists for a major Seventeen Magazine event and even was presented the opportunity to dance back up for Alicia Keys (the Maxwell Tour) all before the age of 17…”
