Uriah was born on March 10, 1997, in Dallas, Texas, and just a month later, his family relocated him to Magnolia Springs, Alabama, a small river community situated approximately 40 miles south of Mobile. During his formative years, Uriah explored his interests in martial arts, piano, and soccer. At the age of 7, he took a modeling class with his cousin Charli, which ultimately led to a talent competition in Orlando. Following this, he was pursued by multiple agencies in New York and Los Angeles, prompting him and his mother to decide to relocate to Los Angeles to pursue his professional acting career.
Uriah quickly began working in commercials while also focusing on his passion for martial arts, which resulted in him becoming the 2006 ATA Tae Kwon Do California State Champion in all categories, including sparring and extreme weapons. After achieving his goal, Uriah redirected his full attention to acting, and he began working on various TV shows, including Without a Trace, The Ghost Whisperer, Mad TV, Dirty Sexy Money, The Suite Life, Monk, Trust Me, Trauma, Hallmark's The Nanny Express, and the independent feature Alabama Moon.
Recently, Uriah completed filming the lead role of Henry Matthews in Lifted, a film written and directed by Lexi Alexander, in which he portrays a young singing sensation alongside music legends Ruben Studdard and Trace Adkins. Uriah is a skilled practitioner of wushu, XMA (Extreme Martial Arts),guitar, ballet, and hip-hop. In his free time, he loves spending time with his dogs, a German shepherd named Tempest and a Cock-a-poo named Libby, and cherishes memories of his cousins Charli and Kristian, who remain in Alabama.
