Cosplay Queen: Traci Hines

Cosplayer Traci Hines as Ariel from Disney’s The Little Mermaid.

Cosplayer. Singer. Actress. Model. Traci Hines does it all.

What Traci is best known for are her music videos as one of Disney’s most iconic heroines, Ariel, from The Little Mermaid.   Traci puts her soul (and her voice) into her music videos and it feels like you’re watching the animated films, coming to life.

It’s obvious, by watching the music videos, that music and cosplay are Traci’s passions. Which is an inspiring thing to see!

Traci’s videos blossomed on Youtube, where she took her love of singing and cosplay and blended the two seamlessly. After every music video, Traci personally thanks everyone who made it possible. Which makes them all the more special.

She embraces her fans with a whole heart and even takes their requests for her music videos.

Traci encourages her fans to share their voice to be unafraid to do so. Which is powerful. When we find our voice, we find our inner power and believe in yourself. Traci understands, that everyone’s journey has its own ups and downs, and is always willing to be a beacon of light, hope, and inspiration in her Instagram stories and posts. She’s unfiltered and raw in her own struggles and is there for her fans, reading every comment and always encouraging her fans to chase their dreams. That’s a blessing!

Traci is truly gifted in the art of storytelling with her music videos and cosplays. To be honest, the cosplay world, wouldn’t be the same without her.

Thank you Traci, for blessing us with your voice, music videos, and cosplays! You’re an inspiration to all of us!
