Meet Jonathan L. Avila

Growing up as the youngest of 6 kids, I quickly learned that the best way to bring people together is to entertain them. My siblings and I loved putting on silly performances at home in our living room, whether that was re-creating scenes from our favorite movies, or performing dances and songs for our grandmas. Unknown to me at the time, these early experiences provided the foundation upon which I would go on to build my career.

I recently graduated from BYU with a BFA in Music Dance Theatre. My time and education there turned me into a versatile and grounded actor, strengthened my vocal ability, and stretched my physical abilities as a dancer. My professors took the raw materials that started in my living room as a young boy, moulded it, shaped it, and honed it, and propelled me onto stages performing in front of thousands of people (that still includes my grandmas). Performing has taken me all over the world (Brazil, China, Scotland, and England) and I am so grateful for every chance I get to share my talents with people, and connect with them through different art forms.

I have a passion for creating artistry at its finest. I intertwine my dedication, talent, and tenacity to elevate every performance of mine, whether on stage or screen, to unparalleled heights. I believe the learning process is never done, and that graduating college is just scratching the surface of what I will learn over the course of my career. I want to tell stories that change people, but more importantly, that change me. I love that performing allows me to live many different lives, and I am excited to begin truly living!
