Malik Kirkwood | Creative Arts

Malik began his career as a young actor in film, TV, and theatre. In addition to the theatre arts, he excelled in advanced mathematics and physics while enjoying hobbies in skateboarding, sketch art, and screenwriting. He graduated high school as a National Merit Scholar and received a full ride to Howard University. During his time at Howard, Malik started four businesses and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a bachelor’s in business and finance. He studied business at the Universiteit van Amsterdam during his junior year and tutored English at a “Black School” (used regionally to describe the ethnic composition of primary schools) in the Netherlands.

After a short stint in a corporate finance and banking firm in New York City, Malik found himself immersed in the raw art scene where he has transitioned his career seamlessly into the arts; creating and collaborating across borders and disciplines. Malik continues to pursue excellence as a pure artist, unbound by construct or category.
