About me
I am a trainee actor at DNA Acting Class in Manchester and attend weekly classes there. I also have a passion for music as well as acting and rap/song write also. I suppose I have always loved performing and have always had a artistic vision, even from a young age from just drawing pictures to writing lyrics and then getting up in front of people and performing and showcasing my skills.I am a very bubbly outgoing individual and feel I have a lot of confidence in my character. I have a lot of ambition and drive and love to try new things and I am always learning and love too basically just perform and showcase the skills I feel I have. I am very humble and down to earth and love socialising and meeting new people, I can talk a lot but sometimes I like to sit back, listen and analyse people and situations as I think you can learn a lot through that.

Highlights
-
When I was in primary school, a BBC crew came in to audition my class to be on an episode of Short Change (A popular children's TV show at the time.) I passed the audition and was invited to do a day's shoot for this programme advertising the latest scooters at the time.
I also won a music competition with BBC Blast and got invited to London for a weekend to record some songs and do some work shops (I will talk about this in more detail in the Music Experience section.)
Most recently I was contacted by The Big Brother team to come down to London and attend an audition. At first I was a little sceptic but I wanted to go for the experience of travelling to London via coach/train and getting around there via tubes etc. I also wanted to experience the audition itself to give me an insight into the reality life and TV auditions in general. -
I have been attending weekly acting classes since September 2013 at DNA Acting Resources in Manchester and this is still on going.
I was involved in two separate projects last year, both filmed in February 2014. The first was a one day shoot for a reconstruction documentary filmed and produced by the BBC for a programme called Inside Out. This was not paid but gave me my first professional credit.
The second was a five day shoot for a Crime Drama/Documentary for the Midnight in Suburbia series called The Babysitter Killer. This shoot was with a production company called Nine Lives Media who are also based in Manchester. This was paid and also gave me a professional credit.
More recently I have been involved in three separate projects with ITV Fixers, two short films, voice over work for a student project and done some role play work for the HM Prison Service to help train prison officers in Manchester. -
I have been writing my own lyrics and material since about the age of 14 as many of my friends at the time were doing the same. I have been in two different bands/groups over the years and have performed at several venues and shows.
Some include; Several night clubs in Manchester, The Contact Theatre, The Zion Centre, The Manchester Carnival Festival, Peterborough Arena, Live & Unsigned competition and The Grantham Park Festival.
I also won a competition called Hip Hop Shakespeare and got an all paid for weekend in London where I got to attend workshops with UK artists Akala & Bashy and recorded a 5 track EP with them two at the BBC Maide Vales Studios. The whole thing was filmed and documented by The BBC for the BBC Blast project.
I don't currently play any instruments but I have been learning how to produce music myself and slowly learning riffs on the bass guitar. I do hope to master at least one instrument in my life and am very inquisitive to learn to play the piano and drums.
