I have recently graduated with a BA (Hons) in Music Theatre from Buckinghamshire New University, previous to this I had studied at Bournemouth University. Throughout my education I have performed in many roles such as Galileo Figaro in 'We Will Rock You', Nanki-Poo in 'Hot Mikado' and Walter de Courcey in 'Chess'. I have also participated in many shows outside of my education such as 'The Producers' which was staged to great reviews at Bournemouth's Pavilion theatre. While I am trained in musical theatre courses they also prepared me for straight acting work which I am also more than happy to take on having performed in a number of amateur plays in my time. I have also been employed at Adventure Wonderland theme park in Bournemouth where I played many characters such as the Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit, leaving only to further my education.

As mentioned in my acting experience, I hold a BA (Hons) in Music Theatre and have performed in many musicals. I have also played a few gigs with a band back in Bournemouth, where I performed keys and backing vocals. I am self taught on the piano/keyboard and am a tenor capable of singing lead or back up vocal.
