A native of Orangeburg, South Carolina, Angell Conwell began her journey at a very young age as a child pageant queen. After winning countless pageants locally, she signed with Wilhelmina's Kids Division in New York at the age of 10 and pursued a career in modeling. Following her dream to act, her big break came when she landed a role in August Wilson's highly acclaimed stage play, "Fences."

At age 11, Conwell booked the CBS/Disney pilot "On our Own". Although, the pilot wasn't picked up, the network noticed this vibrant young actress and cast her as Meshach Taylor's daughter on the CBS show "Dave's World." Over the years, she continued to guest star and recur on dozens of hit shows, NYPD Blue, City Guys, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Moesha and 3rd Rock from the Sun, to name a few. John Singleton cast Angell in her first feature film role as Kim in "Baby Boy" sharing the screen with Tyrese, Taraji P. Hensen & Omar Gooding. Immediately after, she began filming the Lionsgate comedic remake "The Wash", and MGM's controversial "Soul Plane" alongside Kevin Hart, Sofia Vergara, & Monique. Conwell appeared as a regular on “The Young and the Restless” and was featured in National Lampoons Sex Tax: Based on a True Story about the first government owned brothel.
