How did you get discovered?
I was approached and scouted at a music festival a little over a year ago.
What were you doing prior to modeling?
Prior to modeling, I was studying an ICT course at City of Bristol College, not enjoying it.
People would be surprised to know that I...
studied table tennis and rock climbing while at school. I also used to swim for local county.
What's your latest obsession?
I love the NBA, and basketball in general. Both watching and playing. Basketball has to me one of the things I love most and most obsessed with, I always keep up to date with all things basketball, from transfer rumors in the Pro game, to weekly matches playing myself. My most recent and current obsession has to be the Olympics, I find the athletes, their stories and the sports very captivating.
Your most prize possession?
It's either the ring or the chain my dad gave to me, not sure which one is more treasured.
Growing up, who did you look up to as your hero?
My grand dad. I looked up to him from a very young age for a multitude of reasons from his attitude towards hard work and his passion for spreading happiness.
When is the last time you said, "I Love You" to someone?
Last night, to my mum
Three adjectives that best describes you:
Intuitive, Versatile, Amiable
Describe your personal style:
My personal style would be quite urban or laid back I would say. I wear a range of different clothes from baggy chinos and tee's to harem trousers and surfing or skating tops. I also am quite laid back in my attitude and the way I compose myself.
Your favorite place you have travel to:
My favorite place I have traveled to would be either Egypt with my family a couple years back, or a more recent and indecent journey to Poland.
Your favorite film and scene from the film:
Pulp Fiction—Scene: When Samuel Jackson's character recite 'Ezekiel 25:17' while dominating the room with the use of his vocabulary and the pointing, then shooting of his gun.
Your favorite sport:
Sport: Basketball
Team: San Antonio Spurs
Players: Either Kawhi Leonard, LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Demarcus Cousins. I have a few different players and I simply can't pick between them. I like them all for many different reasons from their flair to their respect on and off the court.

If there's a destination or item you would recommend us to check out or visit about your native country/city or town, what would you recommend?
Bristol, England—I would recommend that you would go out on a weekend night out to somewhere on Stokes Croft. There are many different clubs, bars and restaurants to hang out in and I think that the people there truly represent Bristol for what it is. It is also very appealing to the eye with lots of art and colorful graffiti.
If you were given a indie cable show, what type of show would it be? Which song would you choose as your theme song?
It would most defiantly be a comedy, mainly because that's my favorite type of show to watch myself. Theme song: Without a doubt, Funky Duck by VULFPECK
Craziest thing you ever done:
There are a few different contenders for the number one craziest thing. A few of them include jumping off of a bridge into the river below it with my friends, riding my skateboard down one of the steepest hills in Bristol at top speed and the infamous 'Ghost Chilli Challenge' to name a few. Very fun childhood.
Your wish for the remainder of 2016?
For the remainder of 2016, I would love to travel to more interesting and unique locations. I would also want to get out there and continue experiencing things with my friends and family. I would also like to work more.
