Born in New York and raised in New Jersey, Essa Mamoona picked up writing and performing skits from the age of ten and has known nothing else ever since. Uncle Vinny, Night, Deadline, and Paranoia are only a few of the projects made by Essa and his production company, "Dream Big Productions." A love and overwhelming attraction to the art of acting and film is what drives his obsession to be great in each and every project or opportunity in the field.
