About Me
Coming from a family where both my Granny and Granddad, as well as my auntie, were actors, the arts in general have always been an intrinsic part of my childhood, and life in general. I am 22 and recently graduated with a 2:1, having studied History at the University of Sussex, during which I spent a year in Los Angeles, where I performed at talent shows and open mics, both rapping and singing. I also spent two years living in Spain and am fluent in Spanish, which I feel could be a valuable attribute working in arts.
I am a keen musician and have produced over 30 songs, predominantly Hip Hop but also House and Electronica more widely. I was poet laureate at my sixth form; Elliott School, where artists such as Jamie XX, Hot Chip, and Four Tet attended. I also performed spoken word in the annual festival in front of some 300 people. I have sound engineered and edited various music videos as well and consider it one of my biggest passions.
I like sport and have played football for as long as I can remember, representing both my school and local teams, as well as representing the borough in athletics tournaments, namely long distance running. I have worked within a team in various positions, including marking primary schoolwork and agreeing on a fixed number, volunteering at my local food bank, as well as bar tendering and waitering at various gastropubs, all of which aided my ability to work within a team.
In terms of practicalities, I am based in Earlsfield, South West London, 10 minutes on the train from Waterloo, and 10 minutes from the Northern Line, so I am in a good position to access most of London, within the hour. I also have regular places to stay with family in Twickenham and Streatham. I am currently available to start as soon as possible but may be travelling between March and April, although I will be back after.
