Roy Fowler was born on June 29, 1994 in Greenville, SC. He spent half a year in an orphanage and the rest of his time in a Foster Home between ages 5-7. He was later adopted at the age of seven. His father, (James Michael Fowler) is a retired Supervisor for Michelin and his mother, (Georgia Verretta Fowler) is a retired Elementary School Educator. Once Roy was legally adopted, his name was legally changed from Roy Lewis Young Jr. to Roy Antwon Fowler. He was raised in a small town, Fountain Inn, South Carolina (by way of Greenville). Roy is an only child. He studied dance at The Younts Center for Performing Arts in Fountain Inn at the age of 9, up until age 11. His love for singing started when he was a part of the children's choir at his church. His love for acting and theater started when he landed a role in his middle school's musical, Jungle Book. He later appeared on stage in a leading role, as a Freshman in High School (Hillcrest High School) in the musical 'Hairspray'. After graduating high school, he then went on to study Early Childhood Education at the private institution and HBCU, Claflin University in Orangeburg, SC. He was a very popular student and was heavily involved around campus, as he was also voted Freshman Class President. His mom is also an Alumna of Claflin University. Roy dropped out of the University his sophomore year because he did not feel like the school was the best choice for his future career in Acting. He also felt as if he had settled on attending the university his freshman year only because his parents told him they would not pay for him to get his education at his dream school, Howard University, if he did not receive a full ride scholarship. He then moved to Atlanta, Georgia to pursue his career in entertainment. Roy has appeared in television and films on Networks like Lifetime, BET, FOX, Starz, and Zeus.
