Sybelle Silverphoenix was born and raised in the Bronx. Sybelle has been active in the entertainment industry for well over a decade, and has worked both in front of the camera and for live audiences. She grew up doing live singing and dance performances for the Hungarian community in the upper east side of Manhattan. It was through those experiences and through working on the movie Finding Forrester as part of her high school advanced chorus that she developed a serious interest in entertainment and art. She graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School, following in the footsteps of other well known individuals in entertainment, such as Stan Lee, Tracy Morgan, and Ralph Lauren.
Sybelle has been in shows such as 30 Rock, Law and Order and The Whitest Kids U'Know. She worked alongside Christina Calph (Arthur, Tower Heist) in her web series Diary of a Hot College Chick. She had a supporting role in Monsters of Mulberry Street (Eric Roberts, Lillo Brancato), and starring roles in the short films Sarina, The Addict, Checkout, and Gaia.
In 2002, she modeled for the August issue of Honey Magazine, and that autumn, won second place in the Gothic Beauty Pageant, organized by photographer John Santerineross. She represented Hungary in the Miss Diaspora Models International Beauty Competition in December of 2010, and won Miss Popularity in the Miss Hungary in America Pageant in March 2012. She has since gone on to model for various fashion designers, including Sazie Rahman, Pearl Naidoo, and Citra Gala of Citrolina.
In July 2013, Sybelle applied for the Mars One space mission to colonize the red planet. Over 200,000 applications were received, and the initial set of applicants to make round 2 were 1,058. After round 2 medical examinations, that number was reduced to 663 globally, of which Sybelle is still a part. The candidates are awaiting interviews to determine passage into round 3 of the program, which is slated to be televised beginning in the first half of 2015, through Darlow Smithson Productions. DSP was responsible for such programs like Stephen Hawking's Universe and Grand Design, among others.
