China Anne McClain comes from an artistic family. Her father, Michael
McClain, is a music producer, vocalist, writer and sound engineer. His
first production was on Beyonce's younger sister, Solange Knowles (Solo
Star CD - track no.16 entitled Sky Away). China Anne's mother,
Shontell, is also a vocalist and songwriter. China Anne and her two
sisters, Sierra and Lauryn, formed a singing group they lovingly call
"3mcclaingirls". They have completed their first song, "Silly Games".
The music was produced by their father's production company, Gabesworld
Music and co-produced by Larry Nix. The song was also written and
co-produced by their mother. China Anne's younger brother, Gabriel (age
4) also acts, sings, dances and does handstands with ease! The family's
music production company, GabesWorld Music is named after Gabriel.
Ian Burke, a family friend, was over for dinner and China Anne
performed a song from Spy Kids 2. Ian made a phone call to a director
named Rob Hardy who was searching for a young girl who could sing and
act to play Alexis in his upcoming film, The Gospel. China Anne had her
1st audition with Rob Hardy and discovered months later that she was
chosen to play the character, Alexis. China Anne's sisters,
Sierra Aylina McClain and
Lauryn Alisa McClain, also appear
in the Children's Gospel Choir scene of the movie.
Since filming The Gospel, China Anne has continued to audition for
casting directors in Georgia, North Carolina, Illinois and California.
She appears in a park scene playing with a dog and in an after school
scene of the upcoming film, Madea's Family Reunion. She was also
recently interviewed by Jacque Reid at BET on the red carpet at The
Gospel premiere in Atlanta, Georgia.
China Anne is also an active member of Screen Actors Guild. She is
funny, talented, extremely disciplined and has mature self-control. Her
favorite part about filming movies is the time she spends in hair and
make-up. Her performance and genuine, kind spirit garnered her rave
reviews from her fellow actors, cast and crew. Their on-going support
inspires China Anne to continue to perform and learn more about her
passion - Acting.
China Anne's hobbies are singing, dancing, drawing elaborate greeting
cards and going to church with her family. She enjoys memorizing the
lines of various Disney movies and loves to audition. China Anne is an
exceptional student and reads chapter books with ease. She is an expert
with a hula-hoop and just learned to roller-blade this past summer. Her
dream is to someday write and direct her own films and to go on the
road performing with her sisters.
