Katrina Kemp has been involved in theater, dance and choir since she was a young child. She has deep vaudevillian roots stemming from her paternal side of the family in the Bahamas and in 2009, followed that path five miles from her home where she made her acting/stunt-woman professional debut suiting up as Chucky the Killer Doll for several attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood. From there, she got a taste of the industry by doing creature suit characters for low budget horror films, and commercials. Her first big break was starring in the circus, "Cirque Berzerk," then on to several music videos (Rihanna), and guest star roles on television (Marvel's Spider-Man, RuPaul's Drag Race, Man Seeking Woman, Faking It, The Eric Andre Show) During that time, Katrina graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in TV Production from Cal State University Northridge in 2013 before twerking her way across South America with Miley Cyrus on the "Bangerz" International Tour in 2014. After working several television shows and years of atmosphere roles with concert event giants Coachella and Insomniac Events, Katrina got an even bigger break and became most notably known for her role as "Fleck" in Andrew Lloyd Webber's sequel to Phantom of the Opera, "Love Never Dies," a First National Tour that premiered in 2017. She is the only Little Person Acrobat-Singer to complete 410 shows of a Broadway production in 41 major cities across North America in just 18 months.

Unfortunately, the show has been canceled after the filming of episode one. Katrina is known as a voice and an advocate for Dwarfism and Disability inclusion in the media industry. She became the first actor with Dwarfism voicing the first Little Person animated character on a several-episode arc in the Marvel Universe, as Anna Maria Marconi, on Disney XD's "Marvel's Spider-Man," and has been hired for several talking engagements, in person and through social media platforms. centered around being an actor with a disability. When Katrina is not on the road touring, or taking time to physically recover from a stunt job she uses her TV Production degree to work as a Reality TV show Transcriptionist and on-set Live Logger around the world. She spends seasons working for editors and story producers with companies like 495 Productions, Fox Entertainment, Disney, Bravo Networks, and (full circle) World of Wonder's, RuPaul's Drag Race. With a combined four years of writing/typing expertise and ten years of live performance experience, she is fluid in both sides of the industry. Katrina had joined the AGVA union in 2009 as a variety artist, became a SAG-AFTRA member in 2014 as an Actor and Stunt Woman, jumped on the stage to become a member of Actor's Equity Union in 2017 and then solidified becoming a Logger/Transcriptionist within the Motion Picture Editor's Guild in 2018. Whether she is dancing, singing, scaring, twerking, typing, or traveling, Katrina brings her outlook on life to the world and shares the Dwarfism Awareness movement to any project medium she's working on.
