Pelaiah Mpande

Artistic, intelligent, humble, and outgoing are all words that can be used to briefly describe Pelaiah. Born in Zimbabwe, a small country on the southern part of Africa, Pelaiah had to adapt to change early after his family relocated to the United States at age twelve. He would then live out the rest of his childhood years into adulthood in the Lone Star State. While growing up in Texas, Pelaiah developed a strong work ethic through sports and his cultured upbringing. After reaching high school, he discovered his passion for entertainment and began a journey that can only end in a TV studio or on a movie set. As a current graduate student and entertainment curator, Pelaiah is only getting himself primed for a career in entertainment while furthering his education. From sports, to fashion, to travel, to arts and design, he just has an enduring love for entertainment and the arts.
