Debra Haden

Debra Haden is an "artistic tour de force" located in Los Angeles, CA. Haden has developed her talent in multiple areas throughout her life including acting, dancing, singing, painting, fashion design and animation. In her early years she relied heavily on her creativity and can learn new skills with ease. After graduating a semester early from Kansas State with a B. S. in Clothing and Textiles, she moved to the east coast to work for a lingerie manufacturer. The design industry proved to be more technical than creative and Haden began to paint feminist paintings as an outlet for her artistic ideas. In 2005 she finally made her way to the west coast and started a female based arts collective called Feminine Oddities. It is then she began acting and performing at art shows she threw around Los Angeles.

After being around artists and animators for several years she felt compelled to teach herself computer animation and in 2014 taught herself how to use after effects. Using this new medium she created and voiced her own animations, many appear in her multi-media performances, as well as in the closing credits for the movie "Scumbag". Haden still loves to perform live and was most recently seen in "Branson the Sitcom" and "P. L. A. Y Noir". Most recently Haden pictured wrapped her second leading role in the feature film "Mister Sister" in which she wears costumes she designed herself as well as showcasing her tap-dancing and singing.

Haden's breakout acting performance was in the 2017 indie punk film "Scumbag" which had its world premiere at the 46th International Film Festival Rotterdam alongside Academy Award-winning Best Picture "Moonlight". The film reached critical acclaim and she won the Exceptional Emerging Artist Award at Hollywood Film Festival along with her co-star Princess Frank for their duet "Is This Real?". When she's not acting, she can be seen frequenting nightclubs performing duets with local music talent and co-star, Princess Frank, playing her own original multi-media 3D Pop Music by the name of "Skunk in the Roses" and studying dance at ABC's of Dance in Hollywood. The last several years Haden has appeared in several music videos from En Esch to Spookey Ruben. With her degree in fashion she also enjoys designing original costumes and characters for live performances and uses them to be a muse at Disney and for various animators. She has also been the subject matter in photos featured by photographers in several art galleries such as Sur Le Mur at the Pacific Design Center.
