Born Roshon Bernard Fegan on Oct. 6, 1991 in Los Angeles, his mother, Cion, was Filipino and his father, Roy Fegan, was an African-American actor with dozens of film and TV credits to his name. Following in the family footsteps, Fegan showed an early interest in all things performance related. It was not long before the youngster transitioned to a home-schooling program in order to accommodate his acting studies and blossoming professional opportunities. He made his feature film debut with a small role in the blockbuster comic book sequel "Spider-Man 2" (2004), followed by more appearances in projects like the popular mystery series "Monk" (USA Network, 2002-09) and the Owen Wilson comedy "Drillbit Taylor" (2008). It was, however, a supporting role as a break dancer/rapper on the made-for-TV musical comedy "Camp Rock" (Disney Channel, 2008), starring the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato, that brought the exceptionally talented Fegan to the attention of teens everywhere.
Two years later, Fegan and the whole gang returned for the musical sequel "Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam" (Disney Channel, 2010), which found the reunited crew in direct competition with the well-funded snobs across the lake at Camp Star. Also that year, Fegan joined the regular cast of the hit family sitcom "Shake It Up!" (Disney Channel, 2010- ) as Ty Blue, the talented older brother of Rocky Blue (Zendaya), an aspiring dancer who, along with gal pal Ce Ce (Bella Thorne), chased fame and fortune on a popular Chicago dance-music program. The entrepreneurial Fegan also formed his own recording label, 3inaRo Entertainment, through which he co-wrote and produced his first EP I Am Ro Shon. In 2012, the young performer extended his exposure to an older demographic when he joined the cast of the 14th season of the reality competition "Dancing with the Stars" (ABC, 2005- ), under the guidance of dance pro Chelsie Hightower.
