Biography

    • Born to West Indian parents in New York, Karlie moved back to Trinidad where she spent most of her youth. Moving back stateside, the young singer, child actor, and model Karlie continued to pursue her talents at the Harlem School of the Arts. There she studied voice, music and dance. While sharpening her technical skills, she also toured with the prestigious Alvin Ailey Dance Company in between gigs. Karlie Redd is a multifaceted entertainer, business woman and humanitarian with credits spread across TV, Music, and Film. Words like "Triple Threat" is an understatement when it comes to describing the budding powerhouse.

      Before the world was introduced to her on VH1's hit series "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta", Karlie had achieved notoriety as a credited model and actress. Starting her career early, she appeared in over 40 TV commercials, movies and print campaigns by the age of 16. Some fan-favorites include Chris Rock's movie Top Five and Vh1's breakthrough acting competition Scream Queens. Also holding the lead role in a Nollywood film, 30 Days in Atlanta, Karlie has been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records since 2017 for the film having the highest domestic gross in Bollywood, Nollywood and Hollywood. Karlie toured multiple cities with the plays "Thugs and the Women Who Love Them", "Drama In The Church", and "Her Lies His Secrets" alongside notable names such as Melba Moore. Since joining the Atlanta cast, Karlie has continued to captivate audiences for 11 years/11 seasons with her passionate, spirited, and up-front personality on "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta". Her fiery ambition that can be felt through TV screens led to a recurrent acting role on 6 seasons of Bounce TV's breakthrough drama "Saints and Sinners." Karlie also secured a co-star role on a season of BET's new series "Bigger". Additionally, she owns a Media Company, Redd Media Productions, securing a Tubi deal under Swirl Film Productions, in which she produced over 20 films on Tubi including the films, "Mardi Gras Reunion", "Pinch", "Stolen Lilies", and "Socially Distanced".
