Experience & Qualifications
General Experience
I have been acting for a long as I can remember. I started acting at the tender age of 12, performing self written poetry, later adapting to self written plays. It was only when I wrote a play about racism that people started to acknowledge my gift to perform. For this, I was one of 22 youngsters who recieved awards at the Black History Month Youth Gala evening. I was just 14 years of age. At the age of 16 I played lead role in a interactive DVD called "Crossroadz" which advises teenagers on how to deal with a range of teen issues. It was produced by Phoneix Film and Television and was distributed to schools in London. Phoenix also won a home office award for their childrens educational DVD and the youth justice board declared it the best DVD they had ever seen, also claiming every council should have something like "Crossroadz"
Recently I have taken some time out to focus on my other talents, modelling. So far I am agency represented (Confidence Models) and have done various campaigns for magazines and lookbooks for up and coming designers. Still signed and still waiting for the BIG job.
Have just finished a film in Finland where I played the lead protagonist role. This was a very great experience as it required me to travel and see the world as well as do what I love best. The film will be out 2011 and will be distributed to film festivals world wide. I hope to use this site as a means to network and expand my cv.
