: About Me

Canaan W.E.J. Robinson is a creative soul residing in Cedar Grove, New Jersey. Canaan was born in Livingston, New Jersey and was raised in East Orange, NJ. Canaan is the middle child of a retired police officer and clergy woman.

Canaan was considered to be a very introverted type of person growing up. Canaan often spent his time as a adolescent attached to his elective art, production and animation teachers, often disregarding basic studies to be creative. Canaan found his love for writing and film during his high school years.

In recent years Canaan was on Off- Broadway stage in NYC, featured in independent and feature films and even landed a gig as a green singer/dancer in a American Idol/Garnier Fructis TV advertisement circa 2009-2010 American Idol season. Canaan has also penned four books including "So... You're An Actor?! PROVE IT!" and "Actor's Wallet"

Through his life experiences, Canaan found a love for cinematography, the creative side of the entertainment industry and in his spare time, staging upscale homes and travel. Many friends would consider Canaan a secluded entrepreneur, but in his heart he is only a man pursuing his many dreams.
