I am an ambitious, hard-working, bubbly student currently studying Acting and Stage Combat at East-15 Acting School. Originally from South London, I have met many friends from all different backgrounds. This has made me a very open-minded person. I am a strong-minded woman which I hope will help me become a Director one day. I love to learn and I always try to better myself in training, as well as passing the skills I learn onto others. My Ambition is to be an Actress who does her own Stunts, working my way up to a Director. I would love to continue dancing, as I have been trained at The Betty Wivell Academy since the age of 3. Dancing helps me express myself and my choreographic skills were improved when attending The Brit School, where I achieved a Triple Distinction in Musical Theatre. I choreographed pieces for my Final Project and was a Dance captain, where I ran demanding warm-up session at 8.30 every morning. I sing and write music on my piano, this is a major part of me.

I have been writing my own music with the Piano since I was 12 years Old. I am very much my own person with my own style. My Lyrics are my Diary and my Music is my Heart.

I sang as part of the Gospel Choir in Secondary school, where we were abe to perform solo's to the whole school.

I studied Musical Theatre at The Brit School Of Performing Arts for four years where I had lead singing roles in my final Major Shows but have since moved away from Musical Theatre and have developed my own style.

I performed on the BBC's radio show, "Friday Night is Music Night" as part of a choir..

I had private vocal sessions with Mark Delisser who has an Old School RnB style.

I collaborated with my friend for a final performance at the Brit School, where I performed my own written song on the Piano.

I sang with the Chisenhau National Opera company in 2002 where we performed "Tosca" at the Fairfield Halls.
In 2001, we performed at the Royal Albert Hall performing "Turandot".

I attended The Betty Wivell Academy where I started taking Ensemble Singing Lessons from the Age of 10, where we performed many numbers with many complex harmonies to open audiences.

For my GCSE music course, I wrote a song and recorded it with a composition I wrote on the Piano.

I have performed at East-15 Acting school where I wrote a political song and taught it to 4 other students with intricate harmonies. I accompanied the song with a piano with my own composition, conducting and singing at the same time.

Recently I was signed up to do a couple of shows around the UK doing my own Music, but was unable to attend due to unfortunate circumstances so am exploring new ideas at the moment.

Currently Recording my Album with Mark Delisser.

I am currently un-signed but have plenty of experience in a studio and am looking forward to saving up for my own studio in the near future.
