Growing up within the Toronto Electronic music community, I have allowed a lot of the subculture to influence my craft. From drawing to my personal style, electronic music has always played a huge role in my life.
Having both of my parents in the medical field, my dad being a registered nurse and my mom a microbiologist, you can see how they would want me to follow in their footsteps. However, I’m a big believer in following your heart and decided to pursue my dreams and fulfill my creative soul. To pursue a career in the art industry. From the canvas to film, from paint to music scales to the dance floor, whether it be acting, singing, dancing, or drawing, it didn’t matter what the medium was, as long as I had an outlet to express myself.
I’ve Graduated from Sheridan College for Art Fundamentals 1st year and Performing Arts Preparation 2nd year. In addition, I’ve also graduated from The Second City for improvisation training and currently training with Sears & Switzer for On Camera Training, TV Voice-Overs, TV Commercials & Scene Study work.
I’m a multidimensional Quattro threat. I draw, act, dance and sing. Right now I’m working on getting my art portfolio together and trying to get more exposure in Toronto as a visual artist and as a performer.
During my busy schedule, I at least see my vocal coach, Christina James, once a week or whenever I can. I've also been really fortunate to work vocal techniques one on one with Ryan Malcolm, The Original Canadian Idol Winner 2003. If you ask me, I would categorize myself as a psychedelic artist. As a Dancer, I would say my strongest skill is Hip Hop/Liquid Pop & Lock dance and I'm currently seeking more training in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Ballroom, Salsa, Tango, Foxtrot, Jitterbug, African, and Bollywood. My dance training includes Hip Hop dance with Grace N' Style and O.I.P. Dance Center. Beginner ballet, tap, jazz, and contemporary at Sheridan College, City Dance Corps, and at Metro Movement Dance Studios. However, I've been liquid pop & locking & street dancing for the past 7 years strong.
My Goal in life is to be a pioneer in my career field and to hopefully inspire people in a positive way with my art and through my performances. Art and music has always been a part of my life and will always be my life.
Namaste,
