life and career

Miles Brown was born the son of rapper Wildchild and his wife Cyndee Brown around 2005 in the Californian coastal city of Oxnard, where he also grew up next to his older sister Kiana. After he started dancing at the age of three, he was already performing at various festivals and other public events within a year. On October 20, 2009, the then four-year-old also appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show , before a year later he took part in the fifth season of America's Got Talent with his dance partner Bailey "Bailrok" Munoz as the duo Future FunK . Miles Brown , who appeared at the time as Baby Boogaloo , also appeared with Bailrok during the halftime break of the 2011 NBA All-Star Game and before that during the NBA All-Star Weekend . Especially after his appearance in America's Got Talent , he was regularly booked as a hip-hop dancer. He appeared with Future FunK in another NBA game of the 2010/11 season between the New York Knicks and Miami Heat , when the two performed the tip-off at the beginning of the game. The day before, the two had an appearance at Madison Square Garden . After various appearances as a dancer, he also supplemented his repertoire with rapping , which he learned primarily from his father, and continued to appear as a rapper before starting an acting career in 2012. Before that, he had already been used in various commercials and other advertising productions, including for Walt Disney .

He had his first notable appearances in 2012 as a dancer in the dance film Battlefield America and in an episode of Raising Hope . In 2013 he worked in Justin Bieber's Believe and in an episode of Shameless . He was subsequently cast in the ABC series Black-ish , in which he continued to appear in the role of Jack Johnson . He has since been seen in one of the leading roles in the series and plays the son of Andre "Dre" Johnson, Sr (played by Anthony Anderson ) and Dr. Rainbow "Bow" Johnson (played by Tracee Ellis Ross ). For his previous performances in the series, he was nominated for a Young Artist Award in the category "Best Supporting Actor in a TV Series" at the 2015 Young Artist Awards, but could not stand up to the twins Evan and Ryder Londo von in this category Sons of Anarchy and Eric Osborne from Degrassi: The Next Generation , who shared the award. In addition, Brown was used in one episode each of the Nickelodeon series The Thundermans and the Comedy Central series Drunk History and took on a speaking role in an episode of the Disney junior series Goldie & Bear . Here, like in Black-ish , she plays the twin brother of the character portrayed by Marsai Martin . Carlos Fanselow gave him the voice in the German version of the episode of Die Thundermans . He made further appearances in 2015 in the JW Marriott Hotels short film Two Bellmen by director Daniel Malakai Cabrera , as well as in the music video for MALAKAI's single Queens & Kings .

At the Young Artist Awards 2016 , nominations followed in the categories “Outstanding Cast in a TV Series”, where he was listed along with Marcus Scribner , Yara Shahidi and Marsai Martin, and “Best Supporting Actor in a TV Series”. In the latter category, he was able to prevail against the competition. The Black-ish series also played an important role at the Image Awards 2016 and was once again nominated in numerous categories. Miles Brown was nominated in the category “Outstanding Performance by a Youth (Series, Special, Television Movie or Mini-series)”. In this category, however, he had to admit defeat to series colleague Marcus Scribner, and series colleague Marsai Martin was also nominated for this award.
