LANETT TACHEL hails from Prince George’s County MD.  After receiving her BFA from Howard University she moved to LA and consulted on an Ed Weinberger directed pilot, BELLE’s, earning herself a title role on the show but Lanett quickly learned that the best way to keep working was to create the work herself. Lanett has worked non stop starring in television and feature films that span genres while always creating her own work.

Lanett’s love of writing, producing and performing television and film that feature layered and multi faceted African American characters continues to drive her on and off camera. She lives by the motto, “Don’t Wait, Create” and is constantly challenging herself as she switches between genres and characters both in front of and behind the camera.
