About Me
I am a music artist based in Bristol under the Entertainment group Skin Teet Ent. I have worked with some established artists such as Donaeo, Sophia May & Triggadon.
I have a keen interested in acting and have always tried to get involved in anything I can to improve within acting as I feel it helps alongside my music as a performer.
I have performed in front of camera and in front of hundreds through music. I have played venue's such as Oceana, the O2 Academy and various other clubs and festivals.
I am not a shy person and I am very creative and experimental. I will give anything a try, just try me! I have been acting since I was very young and always wanted to join a drama group or school but could never afford it.
I come from a very urban background originally from Peckham, London I then moved to Bristol at the age of 12. As a kid i feel like i've seen it all done it all and my experiences in real life help me really grasp and relate to the characters I have to play when I am casted. Movies are a passion of mine as well as modelling.
I am athletic and work out regularly and I am also very self motivated and determined and therefore will work to fit into any role or character be him thin or bulked.

General Experience
'Shaun of the Lock Stock Hood' - Second Light Bristol Media Group - This was a short film based on previous british films. The story line was about 3 youths who were given the day of school because of a virus outbreak and with there day off they go on a mission to loose their virginity. On the way having to encounter zombies who have been attacked by the virus.
I was casted as 'Josh' one of the 3 main boys. Josh' character was the tag along who was never really invited to join the other 2 boys but managed to keep his place. Josh constantly gets himself in trouble and nearly brings down the other 2 boys with him. Personally I really enjoyed this role as Josh had a lot of dimensions to him and I was really able to experiment.
'Sex, Drugs and Blood' - City Academy Media Group
Short film based on 18 year old Dante, who after his brother is sent to jail struggles to keep up the family business and ends up in serious trouble with the wrong people. Dante's day shows how young people in Bristol can end up walking the wrong path and shows the consequences of getting in over your head.
This was a real blast! Casted as the main character 'Dante'. Real physical work as I had to run the whole length of Stapleton Road 20 times over! My first intimate scene on camera which was a good experience. Dante is your typical street wise but very mouthy character. This film asked for a lot but I was well prepared to give! Had a great time and was directed really well.
Various Music Video's
As a music artist I have been involved in various music videos recently including Sophia May's 'Take Me There' and my very own collaboration song with Triggadon 'Ransom'.
'Sirius' - Whitefield Expressive Arts Group (Performed at the Bristol Old Vic)
A play about trauma and the love between two twin brothers. Sirius had been looked after by his brother Grant his whole life as Sirius is blind. A series of strange murders appear and with no recollection of what has happened Sirius is believed to be the killer, but with Grant nowhere to be seen Sirius' memory and thoughts are the only thing keeping Sirius' from a life sentence
I played the part of Sirius' in this play which I co-wrote for a GCSE performance piece which was then picked up by the Bristol Old Vic and asked to be performed in a showcase of young talent. A real great experience to act live in front of a big crowd in a big venue.
