His witty sense of humor, Southern charm and stage presence makes him one of the brightest young stars on the comedy horizon. Finesse was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and is a graduate of the University of Miami. As a former student-athlete who was a walk-on for the University of Miami football team, Finesse played two years with other Hurricane Alumni like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Warren Sapp. Finesse is also a distinguished member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Incorporated and admits playing football and performing in college step shows helped foster his ability to feel comfortable performing in the spotlight. Finesse made his first television appearance on B.E.T.'s Comic View in 1999 where he instantly became a favorite among the show's loyal followers. Shortly after Comic View Finesse moved to both Los Angeles and New York City where he had several appearances on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn and two on The Late Show with Conan O'Brien. This sparked high demands from universities, corporate events, and concert promoters all over the U.S. and internationally. MORE
