PANAMA

Born in Brooklyn to Panamanian parents, hip hop artist, actor and entrepreneur, Panama has overcome struggles of a broken household and learning to live on his own during his teenage years in Baltimore. He managed to jump start his acting career by being cast in a much coveted role on HBO's The Wire Season 4. The recurring role allowed him to gain exposure in the acting world, but also allowed him to cut his teeth in hip hop, taking any time not shooting to hit local ciphers and recording studios, battling his way until he was heard.
