O'Day has also modeled for magazines such as Blender and Playboy, and has performed on Broadway in Hairspray.
Since performing on stage for the first time at age 5, O'Day has had a love for entertaining. 'I lived on the stage, and even at six, slept behind the seats of the theatre,' she stated in an interview. According to her mother, when O'Day was 6, she was at a performance of "The Nutcracker" and started to cry. Her mother asked her during intermission what was wrong; O'Day relates that moment as 'officially' realizing her love for entertainment.
O'Day pursued her love of performing through years with various leads in musical productions including Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz", Carmen in "Fame", Sandy in "Grease", Liesl in "The Sound of Music", Tzeitel in "Fiddler on the Roof", Mimi in "Rent", etc. O'Day attended La Quinta High School in the early 2000s. She later attended the University of California, Irvine and was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority.
O'Day was discovered on the MTV reality show "Making the Band 3", founded by Sean 'Diddy' Combs. Danity Kane's album debuted on August 22 2006, at #1 on the Billboard 200 charts. Danity Kane was the opening act for Christina Aguilera on the U.S. leg of her "Back to Basics Tour" with the Pussycat Dolls. She walked the catwalk at Heatherette's Fall 2007 runway show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week held on February 6.
O'Day recorded a song with R&B singer Cupid written and produced by D. Harold; Mischke, and T. Thomas , whose title is 'Do Yo Dance' which is the new single from Cupid's album 'Time For A Change,' although she was later replaced on the album with another female singer.
In January 2008, O'Day briefly became the face of "Famous Stars and Straps", and will appear in the comedy "American High School" in 2008. In addition, beginning on July 16th, 2008, O'Day performed as Amber Von Tussle in the Broadway musical "Hairspray". Although she is currently performing on Broadway, she has stated on her official forums that she is still very much a dedicated member of Danity Kane. On the October 7, 2008 episode of 'Making the Band', O'day was publicly released from the group by Shawn 'P Diddy' Combs, owner of BadBoy records.
She has recently started her own clothing line called "Heart on My Sleeve", which features t-shirts and accessories only available online.
O'Day has made a cameo appearance in Estelle's new music video for Pretty Please.
In an interview in August 2008, O'Day stated she was 'totally' irritated with people pigeonholing her sexuality; '...Because at this point in my life I wouldn't say one way or another "what" my preference is sexually. The only thing I'm looking for in life is incredible passion and honest love, and if that's with a girl, a guy, a guy that dresses like a girl, a girl that dresses like a guy, whatever the options are on the table, all I really operate on is the way I feel in my heart when it comes to love.'
