Joriah Kwamé is a NYC-based multi-hyphenate musical artist with a deep passion for Musical Theatre. He is most known for writing the viral song “Little Miss Perfect”, of which he is developing a stage musical of the same name. He was selected for the DreamWorks Theatricals, MTI & NBC Universal Emerging Writers Program and is creating a stage adaptation of TROLLS. With fellow Jonathan Larson winners Pasek and Paul, he co-wrote “Top Of The World” for the Sony Pictures film Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, performed by Shawn Mendes.

Joriah’s mission statement is to widen representation in the art form while bringing a modern sensibility that acknowledges our respected traditions and emerging pop cultures.
