Born and raised in San Jose, California, Anjelah Johnson-Reyes kickstarted her career as a professional cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders. After being named “Rookie of the Year” and performing in Super Bowl XXXVII, Reyes moved to Los Angeles where she became an internet sensation with her viral video “Nail Salon,” which led to many stand-up, television and film opportunities.

Reyes also holds a record deal with Warner Bros. Records where she released a full album titled “Gold Plated Dreams,” which she’s toured twice, selling out both times. She later released a Christmas EP titled “Merry Hoodmas.” Reyes has also appeared in multiple ads and commercials, including campaigns for Sprint, Visa, Snickers, Verizon, All-State, K-Swiss and Dryers Ice Cream and was the spokesperson for the Texas-based restaurant chain Taco Cabana.
