I grew up in a small town of Port Hope across the street from the beach. I was raised by two very humble and non conformist parents. I was surrounded by artists and rebels. I’m the eldest in the family with two sisters and I have a very close-knit family.
I began singing at 8 years old and my parents put me in talent shows, and various competitions. Outside of that I memorized songs on my own and sang until I would match it perfect, then slowly started singing with my stepdad as he played guitar. Later, I started making my own music and learned how to write lyrics instead of basic poems.
I was always inspired by dark lyrics and art, spooky metaphors with deeper meanings put to downtempo contemporary sounds. I really enjoy the contrast of the music with contradictions and the balance in life.
I started modelling later when I had friends who were photographers. They liked that my look was “exotic” but my personal style was a mix between urban and earthy. Everyone I have ever worked with has told me I’m a natural in front of the camera. The difficult aspect was that I wasn’t tall enough to be the standard model. I was lead to clothing sponsors, editorials, performances, music video features, catalogues and website modelling for various clothing/jewellery or promo modelling/brand ambassador.
Musically I would hope to find a producer who would help make my vision come to life and bring out a full release EP. In terms of modelling it has led me to network and grow as an over all artist taking on and expressing different sides of myself through photo.
Alias: CiDi, later became Penni Layne (a registered SOCAN artist, Canadian female vocalist)
Full name Chenise Doreen Megan Moore

Singing since I was eight.

Then decided after a lot of scams for money, tricky paperwork and let downs to create my own image, sound and market myself the way I want.
Going from doing covers, to features in hip hop songs…then discovering a love for downtempo ambient electro.
Opened for artists such as Jeru tha Damaga and Nooreaga.
