Kharyzma's Bio

Kharyzma has been keeping herself very busy these days, with producing the film "A Tale of Abuse", training at The Weist-Barron School of Film and Television Acting, and performing in Theatrical productions. It is no wonder that she will one day be the entertainment industry's next quadruple threat!

Born and raised in the Bronx,and currently living in Brooklyn NY, this multi-talented artist can sing, act, dance, and write.

At the tender age of 7, Kharyzma began writing plays and short stories, and was featured in the NY Times for her outstanding writing skills. She also began taking an interest in performing arts when auditioning and getting parts in school and community theatrical productions.

Kharyzma started writing music at the age of 12, and later went on to study at Fiorello H. LaGuardia HS (fame school)in NYC, for Vocal Music, MaryMount Manhattan College (Theatre Minor),and Broadway Dance Center for Tap, Jazz,and Hip Hop. She is now the head of her production company called Kharyznee-Jharm productions, (pronounced Kuh-riz-nee Charm).

Kharyzma has always been inspired by artists that are all around entertainers such as Debbie Allen, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Judy Garland, Shirley Temple. "I like performers who are not one dimentional, people who are creators, and innovators of their time, artists who have depth", she says. Musical inspirations include Stevie Wonder,The Jackson 5, Patti Labelle, Brian Mcknight, and the Harrell Family. You can also find her listening to Destiny's Child, Keysha Cole,Neyo,Beyonce, Britney Spears, Celine Dion, and Donna Summer.

Kharyzma doesn't like to put limitations on herself, and will always frown upon someone asking her which does she like more, singing or acting? "I cannot say, I love them both, I have a strong love, and appreciation for both crafts" she says.

Kharyzma the singer, currently an unsigned artist, writes and produces her own music. She produces R&B songs with a bit of Hip Hop and Pop. She has performed in ensemble groups at Carnegie Hall, and the Beacon Theatre while in her teens.

Kharyzma has showcased her original material at clubs in NYC including Planet 28, AfterFive, Afrika House, and always gets a positive response from her audience. "I love and enjoy the feedback that I receive from the crowd, it is wonderful! she says". When she sings her original ballad "Open Your Eyes", a song about her foreseeing tradegy in a young man's life, she leaves her audience wanting to hear more, and often stopping her after a performance to appraise her. When she performs "Close to my heart", a mid-tempo R&B/Hip Hop love song, she gets the crowd vibin' and wanting to get up and dance!

Kharyzma the actress can be heard on Nike.com's LeBron James sneaker campaign,in which she does several of animated character voices on Nike's website. Kharyzma has also been featured in music videos,independent films, and commercials. She appeared in a television public service announcement against smoking, for the American Cancer Society. Her most challenging role thus far is the role of Tiffany in the film "A Tale of Abuse", a drama/thriller about a teenage girl experiencing relationship abuse. "I felt the strong need to write this film for all the young victims of dating violence, this is a topic that is so prevalent amongst our youth today, and unfortunately so accepted." "I had to show this story from my point of view." Gathering info from friends, and actual victims of abuse, she got the idea to write and produce "A Tale of Abuse".

Look out for this budding talent Kharyzma, as she has so much to offer the music, and film industry.
