I got to the producer's auditions for The X Factor UK in 2014, but unfortunately, did not proceed to the judges' auditions. I had singing lessons for a very brief time in 2013, before getting more help and support through school and college. I have never been employed in the music industry, but this is another industry, (alongside the acting industry), that I am very interested in.
