Markeith Coleman's life journey began in Moss Point, Mississippi, where he spent his formative years attending Moss Point High School, showcasing his exceptional talent in both music and sports. It was during his freshman year, in a drama class, that he discovered his passion for acting, a discovery that would forever change the trajectory of his life.
After graduating from high school, Coleman enrolled in The University of Southern Mississippi in the fall of 2009, majoring in Business Administration. He spent three years at the institution, but after his junior year, he decided to take a break from academia to pursue his growing interest in acting and film.
The summer of 2012 marked a significant turning point in Coleman's life, as he made the bold decision to dedicate himself to studying acting and film full-time. This newfound focus led to his first professional acting gig as an extra in Lee Daniels' acclaimed film, "The Butler". Just a month later, he landed a role in the movie "One Heart", alongside the talented Romeo Miller.
