"My journey in the performing arts started at the age of 9, when I walked into my local theatre to audition for a summer youth production. I had no idea how much that moment would shape my life. That one decision ignited a passion for discipline, creativity and collaboration - values that have driven me ever since.
Whether in music, on stage or in life, the lessons I learned in the performing arts gave me the confidence to take risks, push boundaries and remain focussed.
I started Rockstar Academy as my way of giving back. Because I believe every child should be given the opportunity to dream big and go on to achieve their dreams, on and off stage."
"Performing arts has shaped my whole life - it taught me discipline, resilience and perseverance."
