EXCLUSIVE: Ayesha Harris has signed with Innovative Artists for representation.

Harris broke out in 2023 as one of the industry’s prominent rising LGBTQ+ voices. She recurred in the nine-time Emmy-nominated Amazon Prime miniseries Daisy Jones and the Six, opposite Riley Keough, Sam Claflin, and Suki Waterhouse. In the series, Harris plays Bernie, a disc jockey in New York’s underground gay disco scene, and the love interest of Simone Jackson (Nabiyah Be). Also in 2023, Harris starred alongside Kim Cattrall and Miss Benny in Netflix’s queer drama-comedy Glamorous. Other television credits include This Is Us, L Word: Generation Q, Abbott Elementary and Good Girls.

Harris made her feature film debut in the Samuel Goldwyn Films anthology Tell It Like a Woman, which landed Diane Warren her 14th Academy Award nom for Best Original Song. She co-stars in the film’s seventh segment, “Pepcy and Kim”, opposite Jennifer Hudson, directed by Taraji P. Henson.

Next up, Harris will star alongside Lil Rel Howery and Rainn Wilson in the paramedic action-comedy Code 3, from writer/director Christopher Leone, Wayfarer Studios, and Circle of Confusion.

Harris continues to be repped by MRK MGMT and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson & Christopher.
