Didn’t see a thread on this…
Post a celeb from the area and/or any experiences you might have had with them. A lot of people from the DMV go on to be successful. If it was in the DMV that’s even better. |

Shaboozey and Tommy Richman are both from Woodbridge, Kali Uchis is from Alexandria, Benny Blanco is from Reston, Goldlink is from DC/MD but graduated from Hayfield in Alexandria.
They aren’t from here but two Kpop singers lived here for awhile - Park Yoochun formerly of JYJ and an actor (he got in some legal trouble so has been inactive) lived in Chantilly and Kim Jiwon (Bobby) from Ikon lived in Fairfax. |
