Creber was born to jazz pianist/producer Michael Creber and vocalist/producer Monique Creber. She first appeared on stage with her parents at the age of one and since then has performed in several movies, TV shows, musicals, and animation series.
Other notable voiceover credits include "Lucy" in Peanuts (Warner Bros), "Alice" in Martha Speaks (PBS Kids), and "Wendy" in the New Adventures of Peter Pan (Discovery Family). Notable onscreen credits include "Kelly" in the gritty Western series Strange Empire (CBC/Netflix), Supernatural (CW), Smart Cookies (Hallmark), Killer Among Us (Lifetime), Christmas Lodge (Showcase), The Haunting Hour (The Hub), Eureka (NBC), and The Search For Santa Paws (Disney).[2] Creber has also performed extensively in the theatre world with many lead roles, including twice in the title role of Annie and "Dorothy" in The Wizard of Oz. A professional singer since the age of four, she has recorded lead vocals on over a dozen albums in addition to the soundtracks for many TV shows and movies.
On August 28, 2012, Creber released her first solo CD entitled Timeless: Songs of a Century. On December 1, 2012, she followed up the release with A Creber Christmas, featuring her entire family and popular musicians of the brony community.[3] The album at Home (an acoustic collection of covers and originals featuring Creber, her parents, Gabriel Brown, and Andrea Libman) was released in November 2014. The summer of 2015 saw the release of Tribute: Celebrating the Music of Michael Jackson, featuring Creber and Gabriel Brown (aka Black Gryph0n). On May 1, 2016, she released Getting Stronger, an album of originals with Gabriel Brown.[4] Recent lead singing features include the theme song for NBCs Nina's World; three albums with Gabriel Brown; Hasbro albums Songs of Ponyville, It's A Pony Kind of Christmas, and Songs of Harmony; and a duet with Billy Joel for the Hallmark movie Just the Way You Are.
Creber frequently contributes to the brony community showing up to several brony conventions across the United States. She also has appeared internationally: BUCKcon at Manchester, UK, in 2013; GalaCon at Ludwigsburg, Germany, in 2015 and 2017; PonyCongress at Elbląg, Poland, in 2016;[5] and Project SeaPonyCon at Bangkok, Thailand, in 2017.
