For someone who just landed her dream role, Kylie Cantrall is doing a really good job of keeping her cool.

kylie *Cantrall's future is calling ...and she's picking up.

Breezing into a downtown Los Angeles photo studio, the 17-year-old performer is all smiles and chill energy-pretty understated for someone who just days before was named the newest star of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, following in the footsteps of arguably the most famous teen on the planet. With Olivia Rodrigo moving on from the show, all eyes are now on Kylie. Her role? Popular girl Dani, who's sort of a modern-day take on Sharpay Evans.

"She's captain of the dance team, she's the It girl of the school and she commands every room she walks into," Kylie explains of the character created just for her. "She's intimidating, and people are slightly frightened by her. But at the same time, she works really hard-and that's definitely something I can relate to."

Working hard to make her dreams happen is kind of Kylie's thing...though, ofc, none of it would have come together without a little manifesting.

The only child of a choreographer mom and music producer dad, Kylie caught the performing bug early and knew *exactly what she was hoping to accomplish down the line. "When I was 9 years old, I would tell people 'I have a Disney project coming out,' which was fully not true," Kylie shares, laughing at the memory.
