Bree Elise

No dream is too big or far fetched for this Los Angeles native, Bree Elise, born Brianna Elyce De'Canillas. Her family surname dates back to the early 1900s when her family migrated from Spain to the the Philippines and then finally settled to her hometown of Los Angeles, CA in 1918. They then dropped the "De'" from "De'Canillas" to give it more of an Americanized feel. You can say her family lineage is relatively new to the United States. Once Brianna was born, she took her family name change a step further and changed it from Brianna Elyce Canillas to Bree Elise to give it a more simpler ring for branding purposes and a twist of Hollywood's star quality. By the age of 5 everyone was calling her "Bree". During preschool Bree gave a speech in front of her school's auditorium declaring her desire to become a nurse, little did she know a few months later she would forget the premature dream of becoming a nurse and would be found performing in numerous ballet recitals, holiday parades an
