Jovanny Venegas was born in El Paso, Texas. At age 5, his journey began as his stepfather, then active in the U.S. Army, led the family to move frequently. They lived briefly in Louisiana, New York, Puerto Rico, and then Giessen, Germany, where Jovanny spent six and a half years. In Germany, he attended Giessen American Elementary and Giessen Middle/High School, where he learned English and became fluent by age 7 or 8.
From a young age, Jovanny’s stepfather taught him survival skills for potential terrorist attacks and kidnappings, as Americans stationed in Germany often faced such threats. Jovanny’s school was guarded by U.S. Army tanks and soldiers to protect against any attacks.
After Germany, the family relocated to Ft. Hood, Texas, where Jovanny completed high school in Killeen. During high school, he auditioned and interned at KRMY La Caliente Radio, a local Spanish-language station, eventually hosting his own radio mix-show. His show was rated #1 at the station for five consecutive years. Jovanny worked with major artists, recorded numerous commercials, and became the youngest mix-show reporter for Dance Music Authority in Chicago, the nation’s leading source for dance and club music and radio mix-shows worldwide.
Following his radio career, Jovanny worked for Telemundo/NBC mun2 in San Antonio, helping establish Texas as a key market. He then moved to Los Angeles, graduating from Santa Ana College in 2006. In 2010, he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Broadcast Journalism and Film from California State University, Los Angeles.
In addition to acting, Jovanny hosts and produces entertainment news segments, interviewing numerous A-list celebrities including John Travolta, the late Paul Walker, Sandra Bullock, Sofia Vergara, Bobby Brown, Paula Abdul, Reese Witherspoon, Elizabeth Berkley, Chris Perez, and AB Quintanilla. He has received various awards and reported at high-profile events such as the Cannes Film Festival, MTV VMAs, BET Awards, and Grammy Awards.
At the end of 2015, Jovanny was honored for his community work, heritage, and citizenship. The event celebrated Angelenos contributing positively to their communities. He was recognized for opening opportunities for students in media and communications by placing them at A-list red carpet events through collaboration with RedAlertLive.com. He also produced the documentary "My Life on Meth," aimed at raising awareness about crystal meth addiction, which received grants from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and California State University, Los Angeles. Other honorees included Brody Jenner, Ryan Phillippe, and Nick Zano.
Jovanny also collaborates with The Look At Me Now! Foundation, a program focused on at-risk students. Its mission is to enrich their lives through mentorship, training, encouragement, empowerment, and development, working alongside RedAlertLive.
