Meet Cheyanna Lavon Zubas | Actor, Musician, Model

We had the good fortune of connecting with Cheyanna Lavon Zubas and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cheyanna Lavon, why did you pursue a creative career?
I realized my love for acting at the age of five when I began my career in musical theater as Goldie Locks in Goldie Locks and the Three Bears. My parents were always supportive and encouraged me to pursue a career in the entertainment industry by providing me with the proper training and opportunities to perform. I am now a classically trained actor with over 20 years of experience.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
After moving to Los Angeles, CA from Atlanta, GA, my career has grown rapidly through my performances, training, on set experience, tireless work ethic and love for the craft.

Most recently I can be found acting alongside Bailey Coppola in the film “Pay Phone” by Loreto Di Cesare. I have also appeared in productions including Marvel’s blockbuster film “Guardian’s of the Galaxy Vol.2” directed by James Gunn, Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim “Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace”, Netflix original film starring Kevin James ”True Memoirs of an International Assassin”, “State of Survival X The Walking Dead” by FunPlus and “Bring ‘Em Young” by Titus Richard.

As well as acting, I also work in the music and modeling industry.

With my career starting in musical theater, I have had a love for singing and music when I first sang for an audience at the age of five years old. Since then, I have learned how to play the piano, guitar and ukulele. My performance experience includes musical theater, studio sessions and live performances. I have most recently recorded with Multi-Platinum Music Producer, Ford of “Ford Productions”, for my house music single “Capture”. My musical training includes vocal, guitar and piano and through my training I have achieved a four octave vocal range.

My modeling career began over 10 years ago at a test photoshoot and grew into modeling for international publications, clothing companies, hair salons, runway and more.

This industry always comes with triumphs and struggles. Whenever I’m feeling the pressure I remind myself of what my goals are, what action I am taking to accomplish these goals and I am kind to myself when things don’t go the way I had envisioned as I am a true believer in everything happening for a reason, trust the timing and the quote, “a quitter never wins and a winner never quits” from Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Antico is my favorite pizza spot in Atlanta, there is an Antico at The Battery so you can grab a slice and catch a game, bar hop or do some shopping too.

Some other great places to go to are Ponce City Market, Avalon, Atlantic Station, Krog Street Market and many more.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to dedicate my Shoutout to Jack Andrad, an incredibly talented musician, producer, entrepreneur, my mentor and husband of over 7 years. Jack has shared his wisdom through experience with me and has truly helped to guide and keep me centered, especially when I need him most. He introduced me to The Secret by Rhonda Byrnes and Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, two books that I swear by for personal growth and inspiration. As well as being my mentor, Jack is my soul mate, partner and the love of my life!
