BEST R&B NOMINEES 2022

Ja' Lisha Johnson

Picture
My name is Ja'Lisha (Ja-Lisa) Johnson, I started acting and singing back in elementary school where I attended Benjamin Franklin from the 3rd grade until the 8th grade. Early in my career I focused on stage plays while learning how to write and perform music. In 2014, I was casted lead in HWIC Filmworks, ‘Heights Girl’ the movie. From that moment on, my passion for acting on film has become a bit of an obsession. 

 I’ve had the pleasure of working on various projects with some of the industry’s most legendary entertainers including but not limited to Bone Thugz N Harmony, Keith Shocklee, Chuck D, Caine, Walter Frank, Ezal (Anthony Johnson), Brian Hooks, Joey Little, Mint Condition,
Dave Tollivar, Le’Andria Johnson, Governor Washington, and Omar Gooding.

In June 2019, Bone Thugz N Harmony’s affiliated recording artist, Caine (Jamal Flowers) debuted his album “Step 1” in April 2019. I had the pleasure of writing and performing hooks for songs, “Think About You” and “Issa Vibe”. By June 2019 “Think About You” had charted on music Billboards and it held that position for weeks.
Years of hard work and dedication has granted me recognition from popular radio broadcast such as the Sam Sylk Show, WUVO 95.9 FM, The Nerve Dj’s and Voice It Radio; including organizations such as The Independent Film Festival, Ohio Kings Entertainment Awards, and The Legend awards, just to name a few.

I have had the pleasure of working as a brand ambassador for companies such as David Ford, Stylez Beauty Bar Boutique, Nefer Hair Magazine, CC Designs, and UBStar Clothing & Apparel.
I've acquired nominations for various awards including but not limited to Best Actress, Best Female Singer, and Model of The Year.

 Including seeing my name charting music billboards, one of the most memorable moments in my career was when I won; "Best Female Actress” at the Ohio Entertainment Awards. Another monumental moment in my career was when I found out that “Heights Girl 2” had reached number one ratings on Both Tubi TV and Amazon Prime. Up until these life changing moments, I had only dreamt of it.
I wish to be viewed as more than an actress, music artist, or model. When people think of my name, I want them to think of me as a breathing, living embodiment of art. I wish for them to see me as proof that anyone can be what it is they desire to be with continued planning, action, and dedication.
Make sure you check me out in both current and future productions; Cleveland's reality series “Cheat Day”, HWIC Filmwork’s “Heights Girl 2” and Scam Likely, as well as Brian Berry’s “Work Out Partners”. Stream my latest music, “Love & Heartache on your favorite platform. Keep up with all things involving, Ja’Lisha including new music and productions on platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Tubi TV, Amazon Prime, and NuTV Network.
