She is represented by her agent Coast to Coast Talent Group in Los Angeles,[1] and managed by Go Talent Management in Studio City, California.[1]

Radio and internet

In 2014 Blunt started her own person style blog called "To Style With Love," the name being inspired by the 1967 classic song by LuLu, "To Sir With Love." Blunt started To Style With Love as an outlet for her creativity and a way to share her longtime passion of all things fashion. Blunt built up To Style, With Love in less than a year to collaborating with mega brands such as Clinique, Halston Heritage, Wildfox Couture, Boohoo.com, Zappos, Levi's, Hunter Boots and Coach.

Blunt starred in My Dream on Radio Disney, which first aired on July 5, 2010. While radio episodes are in audio format only, each is turned into a webisode by Radio Disney and made available on their website.[2] She has received international attention for her role in the series, including coverage in the United States,[3] Canada,[4] China,[5] India,[6] Singapore,[7] South Africa,[8] Taiwan[9] and the UAE.[10]

Through Fanlala.com, Daphne Blunt regularly interviews celebrities on the red carpets of movie premiers, including Gnomeo & Juliet, Disney's Frozen and Monsters University to name a few. Blunt anchors Fanlala's E-news show "The Feed," and stars in her own fashion & style show, Daphne's Look of the Week. Daphne also does the lead voiceover for Fanlala.com's "Josie and her Celebrity Friends," a comedy following a tennage girl and her imaginary celebrity friends! Previously, she was the host of Daphne's LaLaLand on Fanlala.com, which was also syndicated on cable television around the world. She also currently hosts Daphne's Look of the Week on the same website.[11] She is also a celebrity host on Fanlala.com for special events such as the Hollywood Christmas Parade.[12]

Television and film

Blunt made her first television appearance at the age of 10 on the CBS daytime drama The Young and the Restless.[13] She starred as Emma in the new Nickelodeon's Pilot episode of The Thundermans. Blunt is known for starring as Kayla in the Radio Disney series My Dream, which is described by The Hollywood Reporter as "a contemporary story on a format reminiscent of the 1940s, before TV was pervasive."[14] However, unlike Depression-era radio series, that typically featured episodes lasting 30 minutes, episodes of Disney's My Dream last just 90 seconds each, described as "bite-size chunks" by Disney executives.[15] Blunt then went on to become a series regular in the Nickelodeon Pilot "Dunes Club" in 2015. Blunt is also currently set to guest star in the upcoming ABC sitcom Uncle Buck.

Musical career

During the first season of the series My Dream, Blunt released her first single for Radio Disney, Hello World, on Radio Disney, and published a video for it on YouTube on March 21, 2011.[16]
