About me

I am a young Portuguese, London and Lisbon-based actor, singer, and dancer. I was born in Lisbon in 2002 and since the beginning of my life, I have shown passion and interest in a life in the performing arts world. I had my film acting, writing, and directing debut with my short film 'The Last Time I Saw You' which, in partnership with LSUTV, was nominated for Best Drama, and Best Dramatic Performance (for my performance). I am fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. I am a tenor and have trained dancing ballet, jazz, hip-hop, waltz, contemporary dance, folk, and vogueing.
