Rhyon Nicole Brown, a rising star in the entertainment industry, has established herself as a triple threat, bringing complex characters to life on screen while also writing, recording, and performing her own original music. Her impressive performance as Maya in season 4 of the hit drama series "Empire" has earned her a series regular role with new episodes airing on September 26, 2018.
On the film front, Brown will star alongside Oscar-Award winner Gary Oldman and Jessica Alba in the upcoming indie crime-action film "Killers Anonymous", currently in post-production. She has also recently wrapped production on the Tri Destined film "Throwback Holiday", set for release on BET this fall.
In one of her most challenging roles to date, Brown portrayed renowned R&B artist Michel'le in the Lifetime biopic "Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge and Michel'le". This was followed by her appearance in the hip-hop anthology series "Tales". With a strong foundation in the entertainment industry, Brown's credits also include ABC Family's award-winning series "Lincoln Heights", Tyler Perry's "For Better or Worse", and 50 Cents' feature film "Get Rich or Die Tryin'".
Rhyon's passion for the arts and dedication to education led her to the prestigious USC School of Cinematic Arts, where she majored in Film and Production. During her time at USC, she refined her skills behind the camera and was selected to write a treatment and direct a music video for a song she penned for a Columbia Records recording artist.
With a growing passion for music, Brown spent many nights in dorm rooms writing, recording demos, and performing covers. In the studio, she began working with the right producers, and four years later, with her degree in hand, she returned to the entertainment business, merging acting, writing, and music.
Brown has recently teamed up with mega producer Harmony Samuels and released her debut EP "Pretty Girl", set for release early in 2019. The EP features Brown's unique sound on original tracks, blending soul-searching ballads, modern-day R&B, and pop, accompanied by an intriguing short film.
Through her talents, Brown has also become a platform for philanthropic endeavors, using acting, writing, and music to inspire others to be comfortable in their skin and confident in who they are, so they can find their true purpose in life. Her efforts have earned her the "Rising Star" Award at the 2018 Trumpet Awards, recognizing those who work diligently to improve the lives of others and make a lasting impact on the community.
