JaNae Armogan was born with a Twin sister in Toronto, Ontario on May 23, to an American mother and Guyanese/Canadian father, giving her dual citizenship. With a love for the arts, she began singing in talent shows, but quickly turned to acting after seeing her idol, Jada Pinkett-Smith in "A low down dirty shame".
During high school, JaNae joined the Improv and Drama teams, as well as landing the lead role in the school production of "CABARET". She later entered the International Modeling and Talent associations (IMTA) competition in Los Angeles in 2004 and took home four awards including "Actress the year".
JaNae has done print-ad modeling for Canon photos, Canadian Tire, Jerry's Skating world magazine, music videos for Jared Letos Thirty seconds to mars, and new & upcoming artist Ashraf, as well as television shows such as "Queer as Folk", and "Tilt". She auditioned for and won the role of "Vivian" in writer MASON HAIGH/ Executive producer Cleon Morgan's short film "Sleeping Dogs Lie", which has been accepted literally all around North America. To name a few: The 2006 L.A. and Atlanta film festivals and 2007 Canada film festival and the Reel world film festival.
JaNae recently completed filming a principle role in Mindscape film/Revolution Productions "Left for Dead" written and directed by Chris Harrison, and a comedy T.V. movie "Curse of the Iron Mask" directed by Bill Marks which is set to be released summer of 2007.
JaNae's love of acting and performing, and the natural ability in which she does both, ensures that the world will be seeing a lot more to come from this young lady.
