Biography

A multi-faceted performer, Linzi Fenix is an award-winning actress and singer. As a classically trained stage actor whose performances have garnered critical acclaim, she received her BFA in theatre performance from Fordham College at Lincoln Center, paid for by the scholarship she won in The Miss America Organization.

Linzi considered herself the "ditziest nerd" during her school years, skipping grades, qualifying for high IQ societies, and graduating Summa Cum Laude with a double major in journalism and minor in computer science as their youngest graduate.

While in New York, she also trained with the Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning Off-Broadway Atlantic Theater Company and performed improv at the Upright Citizens Brigade, where she is an alumnus.

A dual citizen of the US and EU, Linzi found her talents in the theatre at a very young age, appearing in her first equity show at six years old. She built an onstage career spanning from Mark Schoenfeld's "Brooklyn: The Musical" on Broadway to lead roles in Lincoln Center's Obie award-winning "Laughing Pictures," multiple off-Broadway shows, on tour, and around the nation with the League of Resident Theatres (LORT).

From her achievements in musical theatre to her work as a stunt actress, her journey in the entertainment industry is marked by a unique physicality, which is also due to her background training as a black belt martial artist, competitive skier, marathoner, and pilot.

Her understanding of humanity brings depth and complexity to her performances, which has earned her accolades throughout her career. She received the Best Actress in a Musical Spotlight Award twice for Belle in "Beauty and the Beast" and Eponine in "Les Misérables". She has also been recognized for her singing talents, being awarded the Gospel Female Vocalist of the Year winner with the Country Music Association, leading vocals for the Boston Pops, and performing at venues such as Carnegie Hall to main stage theaters in Las Vegas as both a singer and pianist.

Further to acting, Linzi has a dedicated background in charity work supporting non-profit organizations, including Children's Miracle Network, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and initiatives supporting people experiencing homelessness.
