Elle Vernee

Originating from Birmingham, Alabama where as a child she was affectionately known as "The Human Tape Recorder" she began early in life mentally recording and then repeating family stories full of comedy, love, drama and joy. Whether it was meant for public knowledge...or not. This initiated Elle's passion for storytelling and expanded into her teenage and young adult years of writing poetry and plays. Elle progressed to write a number of original plays, screenplays and on air commercial productions. This includes content for The Tom Joyner Morning Show (events), The Mayor's Office of Orlando, Cox Media Group, The Beta Center, and the Wells Built Museum of African Heritage, just to name a few. She has also served as a writing instructor and mentor for high school students. Sustaining these various roles curated a pathway for a screenwriting and acting career in Los Angeles, California where she currently resides. Elle's acting credits include "Atlantafornication" (Aunt Pearlie) releasing December 2021 plus "Carter High" (Mrs. Campbell) with Vivica Fox and Charles Dutton. She has appeared in over a dozen classic stage plays and debuted in her first music video with Justin Bieber's new hit single "Ghost". Elle can also be seen in various national commercials and print advertisements for Amtrak, Publix Supermarkets, CarMD, and more.
