Kontravious Harrell was born in a small town in the bottom of Georgia called Albany but grew up on the Southside of Atlanta. Growing up in the hood, he didn’t think he could do anything other than sell drugs or join a gang. It wasn’t until Kontravious got to the 10th grade when he began to realize that he wanted to do more. He desired to take care of his single mother who had to raise four kids on her own. Therefore, Kontravious began to take his education and life seriously. In school, his teachers would tell him he had the personality of an entertainer and should pursue it. He listened to them and took a chance. It didn’t take long for him to fall in love with the art of acting!
