Day job (what pays the bills): Full time model for Elite Model Management.



What was growing up like for you? 

I didn't have much of a regular life as a kid, had a pretty irregular family though haha, I left home and school at 13, lived in some shitty places, had a close friend get killed when I was 15, I organised a fund raising event to pay for her send off, it was a huge success and that got me into event organising. 2 years of constantly meeting international bands and amazing people I decided I was bored of travelling the UK, So I grabbed a backpack and left for Australia! Worked some jobs, met some amazing people, Launched a clothing brand called Strategy with the help from my two friends Josh 'Kid9' Thorsen & Jon Goss.




How did you get into modelling? 

Whilst working on my brand I had spoken to a lady named Kara Messina about an internship for her street wear brand, Y'OH! 5 days back in Australia after almost a month in Indonesia I was flying back to the UK to work for her! I needed a second job to pay the bills so I worked at Urban Outfitters on Oxford Street, one afternoon I was approached by a scout, that day I signed a contract, 3 days later I was modelling full time!




What was your friends reactions to you modelling? 

At first they thought it was a joke, as did I, then I got booked to do a commercial for Adidas and everyone was just stoked for me and now I get paid to travel the world so they are happy for me I guess haha!





When you are not modelling what are you doing?

I'm usually busy every day so when I'm not working I'm chilling with my girl, eating good and getting lifted haha
