#ThisIsLife
Our journey began when the mother, Natalie, and son D.A. a performing Artist realized that there was a lack of accessible resources and opportunities for individuals interested in the performing arts. They saw the need for a platform where young people could come together, learn, and express themselves through various forms of performing arts. Natalie’s son, D.A., shared his passion for the arts and recognized the potential for creating a community-driven platform.
​With their combined expertise and shared vision, Natalie and D.A. founded This Is Life in 2013. Their primary goal was to provide a safe and welcoming space for individuals to explore their creativity and
find their passion in the performing arts. They
believed that by creating a supportive community, they could empower young people to pursue their artistic aspirations.

Since our inception, This Is Life has grown into a vibrant and inclusive community of performers, enthusiasts, and industry professionals. We have witnessed countless success stories, as individuals have discovered their passion for the performing arts, honed their skills, and pursued their dreams. We take pride in being a catalyst for personal and artistic growth within the performing arts community.
As we continue on our journey, This Is Life remains committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for performers of all backgrounds. We strive to adapt to the ever-changing needs of our community by continuously expanding our resources, offerings, and partnerships. Our ultimate goal is to inspire and empower individuals to follow their passion, express themselves through the performing arts, and make a positive impact in their communities.
In conclusion, This Is Life is more than just a platform for the performing arts. It is a community-driven initiative that aims to provide resources, support, and a platform for individuals to explore their creativity and find their passion in various forms of performing arts. We invite you to join us on this exciting journey as we continue to shape the future of the performing arts together.
