Today we’d like to introduce you to Brianna Payne.
Brianna, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I have always had the dream of being a model and actress, but opportunities were limited in Wisconsin; which is where I grew up. After high school, I moved to Florida to be closer to my father’s side of the family. My older brother, Lorenzo, is a photographer and had me model for him and it opened so many doors for me. I ended up moving back to Wisconsin and continued to build my modeling career there, traveling to Chicago and Milwaukee once or twice a week. About after two years of being back in Wisconsin, I had the chance to move to Las Vegas and it was an opportunity I could not turn down. I have been here for about two years now and my modeling career has blown up and I even started acting. I am signed to BESTAgency, Goldman and Associates, Baskow and also do some freelancing.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I would be lying if I said this road has been a smooth one, but nothing comes easy. I think the most difficult part of my journey is that I am very petite so it is harder for me to find jobs because of my height. I definitely overcome it by showing people what I am capable of. I’ve also had to learn that you’ll hear 100 ‘No’s’ before you hear one ‘Yes’ and not to take those times personal. It’s just all apart of the game.
We’d love to hear more about your work and what you are currently focused on. What else should we know?
I am known for being a professional model, actress, and a positive ray of sunshine. I am most proud of all my publications in magazines, the commercials I’ve been in, and all the amazing people I’ve met on the way.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
I like to think that my big hair, bubbly personality, and just being my true self has helped me on my journey. It’s very easy for me to get along with anyone and I can relate to a lot of people.
