A fun fact not many people know about you
When I was 21, I randomly watched an old video of a primary school musical I was in, singing Bert in ‘Mary Poppins’, and afterwards thought I’d have a few singing lessons for fun.
Where’s the strangest place you’ve performed?
Probably an audition I had in Berlin for an agent years ago which was held in an old abattoir!
