Aaron Braxton

Aaron Braxton's high school music teacher wrote in his high school yearbook, "It's tough to be talented. You tend to spread yourself too thin." Aaron says, "Nothing has changed." With a steady stream of interest, he has become an internationally, critically acclaimed and award winning, writer, actor and teaching artist. He is the first and only American to win the Festivalul De Teatru International Marele Premiu Gala Star for his one-man show, DID YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK? He is also a NAACP Theatre Award winner and was awarded his own star on the International Solo Performer's "Walk of Fame," in Bacau, Romania. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, and raised in Santa Rosa, he now resides in Southern California. A former educator and charter school board member, he currently holds a Bachelors of Arts and Sciences in Speech Communication from San Diego State University and a Masters of Arts in Education and Teaching, with a California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, from The University of Southern California. Sharing a passion for the creative arts and education, (it says in his high school yearbook that he wanted to be a writer, actor, and teacher), as well as a commitment to life-long learning, he has purposefully crafted a unique path that integrates pedagogy with art in a manner that is thought provoking, engaging, meaningful, rewarding and attainable. “A strong, vital, and progressive society cannot exist unless people create it together. We are free to examine limits, but we have to be motivated by recognizing that there are none."
