'At the age of 9 I was invited to Theatre Studio for summer school by my dear friend and neighbour Alex Ross, without whom I wouldn't be where I am today. I didn't come from a family of actors or singers, the fact is I didn't need to. The moment Theatre Studio opened their doors the spark was lit, I fell in love with the people and the Playhouse environment. Since then I attended every Easter and Summer school up until the age of 18! It was through fun and friendship that I found my love for being on the stage. I worked hard and immersed myself in theatre. Before I knew it, I wasn't half bad! Theatre studio had adopted me into their family. At the age of 15 it was apparent that this was I to become an actor! I spoke to teachers and staff at Theatre Studio and through their expertise and experienced guidance in the acting world they helped me to achieve my goals. I achieved a full scholarship to attend the top drama school in the UK, Andrew Lloyd Webber's ArtsEd. Today my career encompasses West End musicals, national tours, iconic concerts, operas and live radio events such as Friday Night Is Music Night, making a name for myself as a British Baritone and West End leading man. I Recently played Steve Baker in the West End production of Show Boat. Other West End productions include Shrek, alternating the title role and Les Miserables appearing as Javert & The Bishop of Digne. Later this year I will be touring Europe with The 12 Tenors.'
