Rolexis Delaney Schinsing is an American actress and model best known for her roles on HBO show Treme and Oprah Winfrey Network's Queen Sugar and as the granddaughter of Hayward "Chuck" Carbo, lead singer for chart-topping R&B group The Spiders, who was signed with Imperial Records and Atlantic Records.

Family History
Schinsing's grandfather's group, The Spiders, originated from the singing talent of four Carbo brothers from New Orleans. They started out in gospel performing with the Zion City Harmonizers and later sang as the Delta Southernaires, but their path led to a shift not only in name but in music style from gospel to R&B. They began touring the country churning out a string of hit songs produced by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Dave Bartholomew such as “Witchcraft,” which reached the Top 10 on the R&B charts and was later covered by Elvis Presley. Schinsing followed in his famous footsteps and became an entertainer. She is currently married to Leo Schinsing and has two children.

Early Life & Education
Schinsing was born in New Orleans, Louisiana to a large family with deep roots in the New Orleans area. She attended the University of Arkansas where she studied psychology and performing arts and enrolled in acting workshops taught by industry veterans, including Ryan Glorioso, Lance E.
