Actor and comedian, Ryheem Johnson, was born on the Eastern Shore of VA in Accomac County. As a kid, he would always find a way to become the entertainment when guests would come over. Entertaining has always come natural. He'd either be in the living room telling terribly exaggerated stories or in the kitchen dancing because the sock and tile floor combo made for better Michael Jackson dance moves.
After graduating high school, he went to college in Wilmington DE at Goldey Beacom College where he studied Accounting and received his MBA. Where he worked as an intern hired him full time as an accountant for 2 years, and then that itch for the bright lights came back. He quit his job to pursue his dreams in the entertainment industry as a model. In a short time he was published in local and national magazines such as Caramella, R.A.R.E, and HUF International. Additionally, he has walked several runways as a fashion and fitness model. He even proposed to his wife, Breonna, on stage during New York Fashion Week. His acting career, which was sparked by a conversation with a fellow model, has been just as exciting as a feature on TV shows, a host of short stories, indie films, various commercials, and feature films.
After becoming a DMV native, a fellow actor convinced him to try doing some stand-up at an open mic. He went, did 7 mins, and he instantly HOOKED. He is a clean comedian that everyone can laugh with… hence the stage name Clean Ryheem!
Seeing his life come full circle has been an example of an opportunity of what many people hope and pray for. To do what you love, what comes natural, and get paid to do it. Being an entertainer was never a dream for Ryheem, it was his purpose. Make him an addition to your next event or celebration and become apart of his journey.
