Nyla Vamp

Every now and the you meet an artist who makes you remember how much you love music. When I come across something great you know I must share it with my RA family. Say hello to Nyla Vamp.

Rapper/Actress Nyla Vamp was born Anna Lankford on July 12 1993 in Venice, CA. With nine siblings growing up, being the middle child allowed her a chance to absorb the maturity of her older siblings yet she still has a youthful attitude that she gained playing with youngsters in the family. Recognizing her need to perform on a major platform, her parents enrolled her in ballet, contemporary modern, tap, jazz and ethnic dance beginning at the young age of 2. In addition to taking professional dance classes at Santa Monica College, she became aware of her talents as a singer in the Holy Name Catholic Church Choir. It was at Culver City High School that she knew that her voice was above average while performing with the Chamber Choir.

While most will identify Nyla Vamp as rapper/singer, becoming a working SAG-AFTRA member has landed her several opportunities to be in front of the camera. As a child she has been featured in commercials for Barbie, Tylenol and Corn Pops Cereal. After relocating to Atlanta, GA in 2013 she was able to add to her acting resume with appearances on BET-“The Game”, BET-“Being Mary Jane” and Bishop TD Jakes Talk Show “Mind, Body and Soul”  and feature film “Lila and Eve”.

Though you can catch Nyla Vamp rocking to oldies but goodies from greats such as Smokie Robinson, Blue Magic or Ted Nugent, her goals are set to gain a lasting fan base in the hip hop community. Her contagious confidence has quickly gained the attention of LA and Atlanta Tastemakers.
