As feat. In Adulthood!............................

About Me

My Names Daniel Bertrand-Grell. I also go by the alias of Blizzard Man when it comes to my music. I'm a 19 year Old London born and bread Actor, Music Producer, Emcee And Creative Artist. Firstly and foremost I have to big up everyone doing their thing in drama, music and art and all the people who have struggled in this world to become a success. I have been acting since I've been seven years old. I started Acting at my primary school St Francesca Cabrini (Big Up The Cabrini Fam!!) Through out my years there I did various plays such as Noah's Ark, A Midsummer Nights Dream and so forth. My Headteacher Mrs Martin always said I had a thing for acting and all her positive feedback paid off...but you know how it is for single mothers (Big up all the single mums out there!!) even though things was tight my mum was always gonna support me if I wanted to go drama school! Unfortunately I was young and i just wanted to be like others and I missed my opportunity when i was younger and I decided to go to a secondary (Middle School at the time) then onto High School. AT High School I studied Music and did drama for the first few years. I self taught myself during this time to produce music. At 14-15 I was starting off on fruity loops (Hang tight the first beats i made with hi hats missing and no chords loool) and my music was influenced by oriental music as I used to listen to Oriental music as a way of chilling out! By the time I was 16 I was confident with producing and creating my own original melodic structures! A lot of people told me during this time I couldn't create anything good and i had a lot of criticism because i was mixing oriental styles with a electronica but i continued and moved onto more complex software such as Reason and Logic. I left school and studied music further and continued acting....I studied music as a first diploma and also as a national in music practice. I got signed at the time to a small group called J-Dot Recordings as a producer which members were myself, Komplex, Smartie (Smart Guy), Skritz, Charmer and Naraboy. During this time I was starting to song write which lead to me becoming an emcee. Beside that I grew up in my nan's area in Peckham and me the people I knew from the area (hang tight the Leyton batch and Leyton square) used to write music together. With my grind on acting still on pursuit, Recently; I got a small piece in the film 'Adulthood' (Hitting screens June 20th) During my time recording I worked with and met Noel Clarke (appeared in Doctor who, Metrosexuality Kidulthood e.t.c.) Adam Deacon (sugar house, Kidulthood) Jacob Anderson (West 10 LDN, The Things I Haven't told you). Now currently I'm Studying a National Diploma in Music Technology and I'm part of a amateur dramatics group where we perform short pieces, shows work on vocal training, Improvise and work on scriptwriting! I got more projects coming soon through out 2008 so look out for them. Thank you to everyone supporting what I do with my acting and my music and leaving comments and messages showing love! My last few words to people is don't let peoples perception of yourself hold you from chasing your dreams. Negativity can become positive If you use it to your own advantage to harden to craft!If you need to contact me send an message, I.M. or comment on myspace or alternatively you can send an email to [email protected] - If You haven't Seen It Watch It!
