Keziah John-Paul…

is a multi‑talented performer based in New York, whose work spans acting, singing, songwriting, and stage performance. A proud graduate of NYU Tisch’s New Studio on Broadway, she has built a strong theater resume including key roles in The Book of Mormon (on Broadway and national tour), The Wild Party (as Kate), The Seven (as DJ), and more.

Originally from Washington, DC, Keziah trained in the arts from a very young age—starting at four—with formal study at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Interlochen Arts Academy, and other institutions. Her training in musical theatre is complemented by her interest in storytelling that reflects the Pan‑African experience, and giving voice to stories often underrepresented.

In addition to acting, Keziah creates her own music under the name Niambi (her middle name, meaning “Melody” in Swahili), blending genres like soul, funk, hip‑hop and jazz. She also works as an MC, writer, and teaching artist—committed to creating art that connects, uplifts, and unites communities.
