Willa Ford was born and raised in a trailer park in Ruskin, Florida. Her parents are Ralph Everett and Donna Sweat Williford. As a young girl, she studied opera and began pursuing a singing career at age 8, when she joined the Tampa Bay Children's Choir. By age 11, she had become a member of the Tampa-based Children's Performing Arts Troupe Entertainment Revue, which consisted of 20 girls, ages 5-16, who toured the area and sang at places such as Walt Disney World Resort and Busch Gardens. Ford advanced from the chorus to the role of featured soloist. When she was 15, she left the troupe and landed a spot with a local foursome called FLA but did not remain long before heading to Los Angeles, California.
