I've been active in my church's drama department since I was little, ministering in plays, which were performed to the congregation. I'm still a part of my church's drama team, acting lead roles and sometimes smaller ones - but perform consistently to date. I also participated consistently in my school plays; Ebenezer, Oliver, Bugsy Malone and Wizard Of Oz, all during the years I spent in my secondary school, Bishop Challoner. This consisted of memorising lines, auditions and live performances to all the years in my school.

TV & Reality

I appeared on Nickolodeon when I was young, during the time I attended primary school; other than this I've had no experience in T.V or Reality shows, but eager to develop my talent and experience what this area has to offer.

I've been playing the keys ever since I was young, when I had a piano in my house growing up. From an early age, I learnt to play by ear, to listen to a song and improvise chord progressions to match. Until I took Music GCSE in Secondary school and received formal piano lessons, where I was able to achieve a Grade 2 Distinction in piano within the two years I studied there. I grew up playing keyboard for my church, as part of the choir and became the church's main keyboardist.

I've been dancing since I can remember, and have attended different dance schools, including; Cranston School Of Dance (trained in Ballet and Tap), Carol straker Dance School (trained in Jazz), but couldn't afford to continue. I took Dance GCSE and earned an A grade in this subject, which comprised of several set choreographies, performances and workshops, one of which was our own choreography; this earned me an A* grade; so I performed it live to our school year (2008). I also went on to get an A grade in Performance studies during my first year of college, and a Distinction in BTEC National Award in Dance, second year.
I've always performed in church consistently, sometimes teaching others, other times in a group. In Summer 2011, I travelled to Scotland on tour with my group called Spirit Of David; who are based in Nigeria, but recently I perform solo dances of contemporary style in church, but I'm interested in many styles, including Street dance, Tap, Jazz, Mime, African, Salsa and Classical Ballet. I'm eager to gain experience in other styles and improve in my own.
