Council Work - Sandwell

Sandwell Council

At the age of 13 I was introduced to Conegry Arts Centre. Here I had my first recording studio experience and began to produce my own music. After maintaining healthy relationships with Sandwell Council and there workers I started performing at there events. Throughout the year, I would sing at many different events such as, festivals in the summer, Christmas shows and black tie events. The partnership has lasted for many years and still continues to this day.

The SHAPE festival, which is run by Sandwell council, has given me many great opportunities to sing on the same line up as some famous artists such as Callum Scott, Blue and Lemar.

In later years of working with the council, I now get invited to sing as a guest, once a year, to

the SHAPE Your Talent Competition. After winning the show myself in 2017, I now perform

and mentor young performers to help gain confidence and give any advise they may need.
