Biography

Lofton's life story began with his birth to his mother, Angela Lofton, and father, Willie Lofton. He was blessed with a loving family, including a younger sister, Kristan Lofton. At the tender age of eight, Lofton's creative spark ignited, as he penned his first song and recorded it. His friends at school were the first to experience his musical talents, as he distributed his song in the lunchroom and gym.

As his talent quickly gained recognition, Lofton was offered a role in the 2001 movie "Hardball," starring Keanu Reeves. This breakthrough role led to his appearance in the "Hardball" music video, featuring Lil' Wayne, Lil' Zane, Sammie, and Bow Wow, at the tender age of 12.

After graduating from Proviso West High School in 2006, Lofton's career continued to soar. He became the Walmart Back-to-College Spokesperson and made appearances on MTV's "My Super Sweet Sixteen," an NBC 5 News Segment, and various McDonald's commercials. Despite his busy schedule, Lofton's passion and talent only fueled his drive to succeed, leading him to land roles in the 2008 movies "The Promotion," starring Jon C. Riley and Sean William Scott, and "Meet the Browns," as Calvin.

Lofton's multifaceted talents extend far beyond acting. He is a triple threat, possessing the skills to rap, sing, write songs, articles, and movie scripts. His remarkable "photographic memory" has played a significant role in his success. Off-screen, Lofton shone as a star athlete in basketball and football during his high school days.

Upon graduation, Lofton was offered a baseball scholarship to Grambling State University but turned it down to pursue his dream entertainment career.
