Briana Roy was born on August 14, 2005, in Hollywood, Florida, United States of America. Briana was raised along with her siblings - Fernelle and Jenasha.
Though Briana’s official modeling career started in 2011, she had faced the camera a few years ago, when she appeared in a short film, ‘Bad English.’ The short film was shot in Miami in 2008, when Briana was just three years old.
At the age of six, Briana started modeling in Miami, where she was part of several print ads for well-known companies, such as ‘Blue Cross Blue Shield,’ ‘Target,’ ‘Walmart,’ etc. In 2014, Briana Roy’s family, which includes her siblings and her parents, Marie and Wiener Roy, moved to Los Angeles, California, to support Briana’s modeling career.
Soon after moving to Los Angeles, Briana got several opportunities to feature in both national as well as international commercials. She was seen in various television commercials for brands, such as ‘Kmart,’ ‘Comcast Xfinity,’ and ‘Tide.’
Briana got her breakthrough acting role pretty early, when she was signed to perform alongside actors like John Cusack, Ryan Phillippe, and Rachelle Lefevre in the 2014 drama-thriller film ‘Reclaim.’ In the film, she played a shy and reserved Haitian girl named Nina, who loses her parents in the 2010 earthquake that rocked major parts of Haiti.
Before she landed the role of Nina, the makers of ‘Reclaim’ had launched a nationwide hunt to find a suitable child actress to play Nina onscreen. Thanks to her then manager Tammy Green, who submitted her profile for the role, Briana was finally selected to play Nina after several auditions and screen tests.
In 2016, she became part of Nike’s ‘International Fitness Ad & Video Campaign.’ In the same year, she was seen in singer-songwriter Yuna’s music video titled ‘Crush,’ which also featured world-renowned singer Usher. She then appeared in the popular American talk show ‘FABLife’ along with her sister Jenasha. In the show, Briana was seen in a segment called ‘Kid DIY Sisters,’ which was hosted by Leah Ashley and Lauren Makk.
In 2016, Briana was also seen in a teen drama television series titled ‘Recovery Road.’ In the series, she played the younger version of a character named Trish. ‘Recovery Road’ also stars Jessica Sula, Sebastian de Souza, and Kyla Pratt in prominent roles. Briana was then seen portraying the lead role in one of Australian rapper Illy’s official music videos titled ‘Oh My.’
