Actor, musician and singer/songwriter Ohene Cornelius has been tapped to star in the leading role of Ellis Fareweather in "Brown Baby," the independent feature film written and directed by Miles Maker. A talented and emerging recording artist and musician, Cornelius will also write and perform original music and produce the soundtrack for the film with his band, TheAtro Cities.
A New York native, Ohene Cornelius is a genuine triple threat, whose focus is acting. Raised in the turmoil of the 1980’s America, Ohene concentrated on after school programs to keep him off the drug ridden streets of Harlem. At 12, he studied the Saxophone and Ballet. At 13 he studied voice and tap dance. Upon graduating from PS 151, he was accepted into Boys’ Choir of Harlem (which he declined to go to the college bound school, Frederick Douglass Academy). At FDA he honed his athletics (volleyball, basketball and track), thought process (debate team, French team, and NFTE entrepreneurship program) and entertainment skills (beat box, rhyming poetry, and interned at Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, Long Island).
Ohene graduated from St. Lawrence University with a double major in Theater Arts and Creative Writing and studied for a year in London at University of Westminster and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, interning at the famed Stanley House Recording Studio. He now plays the guitar, sings, is versed in modern and hip hop dance and consistently acts and teaches acting through drama therapy workshops to ‘at risk’ youth, all while being a dedicated father and husband.
His credits include, Nicholas Cage's "Kick Ass," "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," "Nike’s Hyper Dunk Commercial," “Subway Doowop singer’s Commercial,” Vladan Nikolic's, "Horizon” (Surla Films), and the short films: “The Ferry,” “I Want You,” (as seen on BET's, "Lens on Talent"), “Red Hook” and “Replayground.” He has also performed in the stage plays, "Auction Block to Hip Hop," "Platanos and Collard Greens," "Colored People’s Time" and other works with the repertory company, The Negro Ensemble Company in which he studied with reputable actors Charles Weldon, Erik Kilpatrick, and Barbarara Montgomery.
