In the late 1990s, the family moved to New York City, New York in order to improve her chances at becoming an entertainer. At the age of four she auditioned for a role in the 1990 film Ghost Dad, but was turned down because of her young age.

In 2006, she took on her first dramatic role as Briana McCallister in For One Night, a Lifetime movie inspired by the true story of a black teen who championed for change in her small Georgia town by integrating the prom after three decades of racially segregated proms.

A woman of many talents, Pearman’s recording career began in 1993 at the age of eight when she released Heres To New Dreams, becoming the youngest solo vocalist ever signed to the MCA label.
