Early Life & Inspiration:
Jaquan Fields was born June 30, 1994.

He grew up in North Philadelphia, often spending time with his grandparents.

As a child, he was inspired by the circus. For instance, at age 10 he saw acts like Bello Nock, and by age 12 Quany knew that he would audition for Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus.

He had a drive to perform, even planning bold steps early, like traveling to New York alone (or with a friend) to attend a circus audition despite obstacles like school and being underage.

​

Training & Education:
Fields attended Kensington Creative & Performing Arts High School.

He also studied graphic design at the Art Institute of Philadelphia, and commercial arts at Community College of Philadelphia.

Much of his clown / circus training came from specialized programs and mentors:

The Village of Arts & Humanities youth theater & arts programs.

Mid-Atlantic Clown Association; NyGoofs; American Clown Academy.

Direct mentorship from Kevyn Terrill Johnson, a former UniverSoul Circus clown.

Performance Career & Skills:
He performs under the stage name Quany the Clown.

Styles and skills include juggling (clubs, ball, knives), scarves, stilts walking, magic, physical comedy and slapstick, face painting, balloon art, costume design, audience engagement, etc.

He has been performing professionally for many years, starting his clown / entertainer work around 2009 (or earlier). Birthdays, block parties, community events are among his regular venues.

He’s performed thousands of shows. Numbers vary over 4,500 in some sources; others say over 5,000.

Quany has also been featured as a touring stunt dog presenter & host for AGT's own Puppy Pals Live, a comedic stunt dog shows full of fun, laughter, & adorable rescue pups

​

Entrepreneurial & Community Activities:
Fields formed his own business — “Quany World” (or “Quany the Clown” / “Quany & Friends”) — performing solo, as well as with other local clowns. Block parties, weddings, birthday parties, circus appearances, tv appearances, wrestling promotions, video projects, etc.

He also has interest in starting a circus in Philadelphia that reflects the city’s diversity. He’s looked into what is needed (insurance, licenses, tent, acts, promotion, etc.). He estimates some events cost at least $10,000 to put on.

He uses social media to promote his acts and engage audiences. He also runs programs for youth (e.g. circus arts summer workshops) when he has capacity.

Current Status & Goals:
As of late 2022 / early 2023, Fields is pushing toward scaling up: more ambitious shows, co-owning with others (in particular a clown named Zabo) a circus venture (“Zabo’s Circus”) & ("Platinum Star Circus") to create space where diversity is front and center.

He continues to build visibility, create media assets (demo reels, media kits), acquire more advanced props, expand acts/animals (e.g. incorporating birds, etc.).
