Lonnie Chavis, at the age of 16, has already established himself as a talented actor. Despite his young age, Lonnie began his acting career at just 8 years old, working as a series regular on two television shows simultaneously. He captivated audiences with his performances on NBC's "This is Us" and Showtime's "White Famous."

Proving his versatility and dedication to his craft, Lonnie also took on lead roles in two movies in 2019 while on hiatus from "This is Us." This demonstrated his ability to handle the responsibilities of a leading man at the tender age of 12. Additionally, Lonnie's appearance in the short film "Skin" earned him recognition, as the film went on to win an Oscar.

Lonnie's talent has not been limited to television and film. He has made guest appearances on popular shows such as CBS's "God Friended Me" and CW's "Supergirl." Most recently, Lonnie has been starring in Paramount Plus's highly-watched series, "Lawmen Bass Reeves."

Having relocated from his birth place Los Angeles County to Austin, Texas Lonnie graduated from high school at the impressive age of 15 in May 2023. He has since pursued a career in music under the mentorship of Austin's own Nick Trice, a producer, engineer, and student liaison at the Recording Conservatory of Austin. Under Nick's guidance, Lonnie has quickly honed his musical skills and has already released three singles that he produced himself.

Lonnie is set to release his first EP under the artist name L0, pronounced "low" and spelled L-zero, in early 2024. Co-produced with Nick Trice (Freq Niq), this EP showcases Lonnie's musical talents and promises to be a captivating debut.

In addition to his music endeavors, Lonnie continues to excel in his acting career. His latest project, the film "How I Learned to Fly," in which he stars alongside Marcus Scribner, has been released in limited theaters December 1st, 2023 and is set to be released on Stars in February 2024. With his impressive track record, Lonnie has already received accolades such as a SAG Award and an MTV Movie & TV Award for best tearjerker moment for his work on "This is Us," and he has garnered numerous nominations along the way.

As Lonnie's star continues to rise, he aims to score a movie and have his music featured in television and film. With his talent, dedication, and commitment to choosing projects that tell meaningful stories, Lonnie Chavis is poised for a bright and successful future in both the acting and music industries.
