Kema Nikia was born in Oak Park, Illinois. She moved from Chicago at age 16 to Pensacola, Florida where she finished high school and also went to College. She was more of an athlete and never considered acting until she took her first acting class in Orlando in 1999. She scored her first acting role in 2000 on the show Sheena in Orlando, Florida. Later that year she scored her first supporting role in the movie Handle Your Business a South Boy Films production. She decided to leave the east coast and try to see if the entertainment business had a place for her. Due to family situations she only stayed in Los Angeles for about two years. While back in Orlando she then went on to work on other projects as well as scoring a role in the movie Impiety with Wreaking Havoc Productions. In 2007 she produced her first film Jamaican Me Crazy with DramaQueen Productions in Atlanta, GA. At that time she realized that she was not done with Los Angeles just yet. In 2009 while producing projects with Phalanx Entertainment she discovered her true destiny and birthed Circle C Entertainment. Under the Circle C Entertainment and Phalanx umbrella she got her first taste of directing by directing and producing her first music video, Thinking about you by Raz B. Kema took her skills and went to Nigeria as the Director of Operations for a filmmaking program in Abuja Nigeria. Being with those students she rediscovered her first love in the entertainment world, which is acting. Upon her return from Africa she landed a role in the stage play You Reap what you Sow a production of Stephanie Singleton. And this is only the beginning. She will not stop until Phalanx and Circle C Entertainment is a household name. Show less «
