About me
Hi i'm Jess Brady. Ever since a young age I have aspired to be a performer. I have been singing since the age of four and acting since the age of 8. I started off doing performances in school and have grown to do performances on proffessional stages all over the country through various types of performance. I have a passion to make it in the business and I have always made it clear to who I work with it has never been about the money.... I do it because I love it and can't imagine doing anything else. I love musical theatre and theatre in general and would love to work in this field as well as tv, film and radio. I believe I have a strong personality and the capability to succeed in the future if given the opportunity. I am a reliable, hard working and focused individual and would engage with the best of my ability with any task or job offered to me.Skills
