Name: Kahlil Draper-Kovarik a.k.a. Kahlil Draper (Stage Name). Actor and Record Producer in SAG-AFTRA .

Living in Los Angeles. Graduated from Purdue University with a B.S. in Health & Kinesiology.

Currently an entertainment industry professional. I’m a person who generally wants to be involved in the creative arts and process. Now i’m working on honing my craft as an actor and industry professional to the best of my ability.

I've been involved since I was a child. Sang in chorus, piano recitals around my old neighborhood and church in Chicago on Naragansett, went to Cappelli Institute of music in Oak Park where I learned piano basics.

Part of hip-hop collective “Deuce Deuce” since age 15 (first as a hype man then as an in house record producer). Did shows at Butler University, Purdue University, and other colleges and venues in the midwest.

Worked with a few videographers/photographers in college and upon moving to LA which helped me learn how to plan film/photo shoots, be comfortable on camera, in scenes, and on a film set.

Played sports (football, basketball, track & field) in HS which i loved, currently single but looking lol.

Martial Arts (Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, etc.) Enthusiast. Competed in a BJJ tourney last in 2017 (got 2nd place).

Website: 2romanproductions.com or 2romanproductions.net not 100% complete. Still needs a lot of work but you can find my beats there.

Went on an adventure with my best friend.

Adam(AJ) Joseph Norton, 33 year old living in California, born in Ohio to Joe and Kathryn Norton, 2nd of six kids oldest son (Big Brother to Big Sister lol) moved out of the united states when I was 23 to Denmark first, then The Netherlands, then China, back to the Netherlands and then back to China finally moving to Cali in 2016. I play guitar and a slew of other instruments not so well but well enough to entertain myself. I am an amateur cook and foodie, been mountain biking for the past 4 years, and snowboarding for longer. I am most defiantly a mountain person over a beach person. been a shoe maker since 2007 and still in the industry, working with top brands doing material sales. (biggest customer is a fruit company in Cupertino Ca.) I believe in bettering yourself and lifting up others around to be better. My approach is rough but that is because I am passionate about the things I believe in. I’ve always had trouble talking about myself so this I new to me and I hope you enjoy it!

1st of many episodes of my wife and I sharing our experiences with my spinal cord injury.

My philosophy is rooted in tolerance and I'm devoted to extending compassion to all. Experience teaches that tolerating situations as they are and implementing the golden rule in response attains lasting peace and happiness.

The motivating factor for my life purpose is curiosity about my surroundings and navigating that environment with stillness of mind. My chief aim is to leave a legacy of peace and knowledge. Despite obstacles to perform good deeds, I believe we must serve all with humility. Guiding me in life is the motto of His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj, "In the joy of others, lies our own."
