You may have recognized Quartay as the Hero Woman lead actress from the 2021 Apple Watch Series 6 Commercial, Hello Sunshine, where Quartay performed all of her stunts, and also voiced the commercial's narration. Quartay DeNaya was raised in the suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota where she was raised on the importance of faith and hard work. After she graduated with academic honors from Osseo Senior High School, she was accepted into the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (Hollywood). Armed with her Associates degree and the runner-up nod for "Most Improved" in her class, she became a member of the Academy's Theatre Company in 2015. Later that year, beginning her reputation of being coined the "One Take Wonder" she booked the lead role in the short film Roots in Concrete (2015) a film inspired by the death of 15-year-old Latasha Harlins, who was shot and killed right before the 1992 LA riots. Roots in Concrete received numerous film-festival nominations. The film is directed by Princess Grace HBO Film Award winner Allison A. Waite. A few years later, DeNaya was cast as Latasha Harlins in the opening sequence of the feature film Kings (2017), starring Halle Berry and Daniel Craig and directed by French-Turkish filmmaker Deniz Gamze Ergüven. In 2016, she was cast as Meryl in the feature film A Cowgirl's Story. DeNaya shared the screen with young Hollywood talents like Bailee Madison and Chloe Lukasiak in this heartwarming family film. DeNaya's latest project is a short film called Nia's Shadow, where she plays the title role, a young superhero named Nia Knight, directed by The Turner Brothers of Dreadhead Films.

She has gained the attention of companies like Century Martial Arts and Venum due to her fast, growing online social media presence. She even made the top 10 of Black Action Stars' list of performers with the potential to be the next top black action star. Other hobbies include spending time honing her skills as an intermediate violinist, coaching kids in the sport of Gymnastics. DeNaya is represented by Streitfeld Management and The DriveN Agency, and is based in Los Angeles, California.
Queen

Queen

Queen were one of the longest-lasting and most commercially successful bands to emerge from the British heavy rock scene of the early 1970s, but unlike their contemporaries such as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, they soon became just as popular with pop fans as fans of hard rock and heavy metal, beginning with "Killer Queen" from their third album "Sheer Heart Attack" in 1974. Formed in London in 1970 following the demise of the band Smile, Queen originally consisted of vocalist Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor before being joined by bassist John Deacon. The band became popular with audiences via their hit singles, live performances, originality and showmanship, being voted the greatest British band of all time in a national BBC poll. Their Live Aid (1985) performance was voted the best live rock performance of all time in an industry poll. According to the BBC, Queen have sold more than 300 million albums as of 2009. Queen's first album "Queen" was a commercial flop in 1973, failing to chart and producing no hit single, but their second album "Queen II" produced a top ten hit, "Seven Seas of Rhye". It was with the release of "Sheer Heart Attack" in 1974 and "A Night at the Opera" the following year that the band gained international success. They have released fifteen studio albums, five live albums and numerous compilation albums. Since Mercury's death and Deacon's retirement, May and Taylor have performed infrequently together at special events and programs as members of other ensembles. Between 2004 to 2009 the duo collaborated with Paul Rodgers under the moniker Queen + Paul Rodgers, and between 2011 to 2015 with Adam Lambert under the moniker Queen + Adam Lambert.
