I'm a Pop/R&B/Dance/Contemporary singer-songwriter(and actor-model-dancer) pursuing a full-time career as a performing artist in all shapes and forms. I compose original & collaborative music & I'm an outgoing, physically fit thespian who is extroverted and intellectually curious. Although I have high hopes for myself, I am an ordinary guy, enjoying what life has to offer. I'm down-to-earth, fun-loving, sweet and sensitive; I know exactly what I want and tend to be very stubborn protecting the people I care about. I believe that the Universe helps those who helps themselves, and whilst taking the good with the bad, I'm on the endless road of self-discovery, spreading my wings & loving every second of it :) 'Believe in the better part of yourself & others, work hard, play even harder, & have nothing but love'
