Lenay Dunn doesn't have to be serious a vast majority of time, because her career has become one of hamming it up for the camera; a tradition she started in high school shooting and editing silly videos of herself, with friends, and even her cat.
It was those original YouTube videos that led her to a gig with Red Bull, traveling all over North America and Europe to host Red Bull's "Flugtag" show.
That in turn, led to her current role as the host of MTV's 10 on Top; a Saturday morning video clip show that shares the top vids of the week from the world of celebrity and pop culture. Along side Lenay each week is a celebrity guest host that in the past have included, Selena Gomez, Adam Lambert, Nick Jonas, and Victoria Justice.
Lenay was born in Congo, Africa, grew up in Minnesota (this made her a hockey fan), where she studied Spanish in college. After college she moved to South America, then Los Angeles, and now Nashville. Confused yet? Did we mention her show is taped every week in New York City at MTV's studios? So how can she live in Nashville and tape the show in New York? Easy. She flies to NYC each week from her home in Tennessee.
Being a preferred flyer has it's perks. Aside from being the only young blonde-haired LeAnn Rimes look-a-like in first class sitting among all the business elite, this 26 year-old is well educated, well traveled, and can talk on any subject and have you laughing in seconds.
With her busy life there's no slowing down, besides, sleep is over rated when you have plenty of Red Bull and Tim Horton's. That's why there's a sofa in the edit suite at MTV. So she can nap, before catching the next flight out of New York back home to Nashville.
*Catch Lenay Dunn hosting MTV's 10 on Top every Saturday at 11:30am EST on MTV.
