Jacquelyn Rae Pyles, aka Jacque (pronounced Jackie) Nimble is one third of the teen girl group School Gyrls (Island Records). Born on April 6th in Murrieta, CA, and raised in Fallbrook, CA, the fifteen year old Native American/Italian/French singer, dancer and actress has appeared in Sear’s Back 2 School 2008 with Vanessa Hudgens, Macy’s Passport 2008 with the Jabbawockeez and has danced with world renowned choreographers Shane Sparks, Dave Scott, and Tabitha and Napolean to name a few.
Jacque Nimble began training in ballet and jazz at just five, but quickly moved onto hip hop, a style she found “more entertaining.” Inspired by artists such as Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, Beyonce, Drake and Lil Wayne to name a few - Jacque’s natural rhythm allowed her to excel at hip hop dance. Moving with her older sister’s high school dance team, she sharpened her skills with girls twice her age and began auditioning for regular professional campaigns all over southern California.
Initially Jacque’s dreams were of acting and dancing, not singing — but her role as a School Gyrl granted her the opportunity to do all three. Never imagining herself part of an actual singing group, since her a focus at an early age was in dance training — she didn’t actually start singing professionally until she joined the School Gyrls. Her first time working with a professional vocal coach was during the recording of their self–titled debut album “School Gyrls.” Her natural singing talent, amazing dancing ability and chemistry with the other members made Jacque an obvious choice for the pop group.
With dreams of becoming an entertainment Lawyer as her “back-up” profession of choice, education is extremely important to Jacque, who’s currently a sophomore at a charter school called Options for Youth. She feels fortunate to be in a home school program that has an actual graduation and school dances, so she can continue her schooling on the road and still get all the best high school experiences.
Jacque has a love for animals, especially her teacup poodle Princess, enjoys roller and ice skating, swimming, hiking, going to church and loves to research her favorite artists and their music history.
