I am an energetic and creative musician. I enjoying being around and working with people from all backgrounds and I am most happy when I am performing. I have my own company and work throughout the UK and abroad, teaching percussion and playing in my band. I am looking to build on the skills I already have and venture into media work.Acting experience:
None.
Dancing experience:
I have danced in my family dance troupe and often teach African dancing. I do Sabar dancing (African)
Singing experience:
I sing as lead in my band and throughout schools when I delivered workshops and master classes. I have a traditional African singing voice.
Modelling experience:
I have some modelling experience but I would like to build on this. I have many promotional photographs for my company and band and have been on posters in Africa.
Television experience:
As a musician, I have been interviewed on talk shows and also performed on TV. I have been on the BBC when Nelson Mandela died and interviewed for North West channels for Africa Oye, a music festival in Liverpool, in July 2016.
Interesting past experiences:
I have lots of good stories to tell as I am from the Griot people of Senegal. The Griot is a storyteller, poet, singer and historian. I play a drum called 'Talking Drum' that is used to 'talk' and communicate.
