ROCK CHALLENGE STORY

I was stage crew for my school from 97 til 99, then performed at college in 2000. Promotion in 2001 - I was the Liaison Teacher, choreographer and a performer!

I volunteered for some events in 2002 and 2003 and I’ve volunteered at pretty much the whole tour this year (and am in training to be a Propsmaster.)

I love working for Rock Challenge because I remember how much fun it was when I was performing so I love giving the kids the same opportunity. (Plus it’s twice as much fun working for the company - I love being on the road and meeting loads of new people!)

It would a dream come true for UK Rock Challenge finally to get TV coverage - I think there will be no stopping us once we achieve that.

In the next ten years I aim to have worked for every Rock Challenge across the globe.

OTHER PERFORMING-ARTS PROJECTS YOU ARE INVOLVED IN

• Studying for a degree in Performing Arts at Southampton Institute. Various pieces of AmDram.

HOBBIES

• Acting, Singing, Playing football for RCUK FC. I like watching and playing most kinds of sports and socialising with friends (and I have seen over 300 live bands :)

LIKES & DISLIKES

MUSIC
Likes:

• Pretty much anything, but if I’m in control of the CD player it's generally Rock, Punk, Ska or just something I can sing along to.

• I don’t really like things like rave or hardcore or any of that dancey tripe!

• Chinese, Indian, KFC ... pretty much any take-away food. BBQ food (and Mum’s roast dinner is always a winner :)

• Vegetables!

• I really like animated comedies like “The Simpsons”, “Futurama” and “Family Guy” but I like pretty much anything that makes me laugh. I’m not too fussy when it comes to TV and film.

• Westerns. And Jennifer Lopez films (I think they're awful.)
