About Me

Well a little bit about me...I have been performing since the age of 5, after being introduced to singing and dancing by my middle sister, Michelle. My First professional Appearance was at 10 yrs old at The Theatre Royal Brighton, In the pantomime Aladdin.In later years i joined the cast of Les miserables,Palace Theatre London,and was lucky enough to play the role of Eponine on numerous occasions. I then went on to tour the country with Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor dream-coat. Followed by an advert for Asda with Julie Walters and another for Soccer Am on Sky.My greatest experience in musical theatre though has got to be playing the role of Kim in the Boy George musical Taboo,Leicester square London.In my 8 months working on that show i was lucky enough to work with some brilliantly talented and great people, such as, Matt Lucas, Mark Little, Julian Clarey,Lyn Paul, Mari Wilson, Drew Jameson ( who you'll hear more about in a second) and of course George O'dowd( Boy George ).After Taboo I was off, touring around the country again in Footloose the Musical, Playing the fun role of Wendy-Jo(one of Ariel's 3 Friends).That brings us up to 2005,when i went back to the Theater Royal Brighton to play 'Princess Jill' in Jack and the beanstalk the pantomime, alongside Twiggy.In February i flew out to Holland to perform in the Dutch tour of Fame the Musical in which i Played Serena Katz.But my latest, and Possibly favorite journey of my whole career has been the last 9 months of my life. Drew Jameson(who i mentioned earlier), rang me and asked if i wanted to join a band he was putting together to enter the 3rd series of XFACTOR. Of course i jumped at the chance and after meeting my fellow band mates and going along for our first audition, We made it to the final 12 acts and to the live shows,and we are now known as 'The Unconventionals'!We're up to date.... the band have been in the studio recording our first album with a view to releasing it in the spring.So what a journey it's been for me, I now live on the south-coast, and I'd like to thank anyone who has supported me in my Quest at any point in my life, especially my Mum, Dad, Sisters Tania and Michelle-both of whom I'm so proud, Luke, Lauren and Lee. Without you all, i certainly wouldn't be where i am today.found this flowers layout at HOT FreeLayouts.com
