[edit] Cooler Kids
Before Treasure's appearance on the Pussycat Dolls reality TV show, she formed the music group Cooler Kids with producer and performer Kaz Gamble. Treasure had the opportunity to work with several record labels, including DreamWorks Recordings, Audacious Records and Teenacide Records, and released a debut album, entitled Punk Debutante, in which the chart-entering single "All Around the World" was published. She has co-written and sung on songs "The Grass is Greener" and "Common Ground" by Dave Aude and Tall Paul.[1] Sisely Treasure was also a member of all the all-girl pop-punk, j-pop-ish group The Holograms, at which time they had a chart buster on Billboard top garage Hits "Are you ready for it".
[edit] Dancer
She was among the first original crew of kids that made up the dance troupe Sparkids performing at the Forum during the LA Sparks games and Laker games. In her early teens she was part of one of the premier young dance companies in the world, under the wing of renowned choreographer Marguerite Derricks. She has also danced in various commercials and for several other major choreographers and dancers such as Terry Beeman, Wade Robson, and Galen Hook.[2]
[edit] Search for the Next Doll
Treasure appeared on the first season on the CW reality show The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search For The Next Doll. Sisely was often praised by Robin Antin for her uniqueness and individuality. On the show, she was a couple years older than the others and said she at times felt like an outsider. She was in the Top 7 contestants the third dancer eliminated after being told her group seemed unprepared on the dance floor. She shook up the show's fanbase and fellow contestant and eventual winner Asia Nitollano when she responded to the contestants' discussion of each other's dancing abilities by stating that she thought that Asia danced "like a drag queen", shortly before she was eliminated, causing the other contestants (with the exception of Nitollano) to burst out laughing.
[edit] Sisely and the Safety Pin-ups
After Search for the Next Doll she joined another group named Sisely and the Safety Pin-ups and released a cover of "Do the Robot" which was voted coolest garage song by Garage Rock.[3] She was also featured in a Yahoo article which named her the "Punkycat Doll".[4] She is also one of the members of the Gunn Metal Grey dance group.[5]
[edit] Shiny Toy Guns
On August 12, 2008, Sisely Treasure officially became the new lead female vocalist for the American rock band Shiny Toy Guns, replacing Carah Faye Charnow. Her vocals are featured in the band's sophomore album Season of Poison, released on November 4, 2008. She also plays bass and keyboards for the band. She is the voice on the cover–remake of "Burnin' for You" and "Major Tom (Coming Home)" that is played in commercials for Lincoln cars.
