BEAUTIFUL: The Carole King Musical
So glad to finally share that I’ve joined the Aussie cast of Broadway hit, BEAUTIFUL: The Carole King musical, as part of American R&B/Soul group, The Drifters!
Growing up, Carole’s Tapestry album was a staple for us (thanks mom). Who’d of thought that one day I’d get to be part of telling her story? Man… Life sure is an adventure.
We open at Sydney Lyric Theatre this September.

Memories of Ghana
When I think about the week I spent in Ghana, oh man … words escape me.
Getting to participate in the country’s 60th Independence Day celebrations, taking in their stunning landscape, rich culture and passionate people, I’m floored. And so thankful.
I always gain fresh perspective while traveling. But being South African-born, standing on African soil again was extra special. A spiritual experience.
Massive thanks must go to my beautiful and generous friend, Darlene Zschech, for having me along.
You know, we joke a lot about the whole ‘hashtag blessed’ thing on social media. But for real… Through life’s rough times and my (many) flaws, moments like these are just another reminder of how blessed I really am x

Farewell Hairspray
Farewell Hairspray
We’ve reached the end of Hairspray and words alone can’t explain how I feel.
While having the joy of playing Seaweed J. Stubbs, a lot’s happened. I’ve grown and changed. Hit euphoric highs and devastating lows. Laughed, cried and everything in-between.
The emotions running through me sure are bittersweet, but anchored in only gratitude.
Heartfelt thanks to the whole cast and crew for enriching my life so much this past year. Because of you, I’ve got a whole new reel of special memories to treasure.
Here’s to even greater days ahead, I love you all x

Raving It Up
I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Rave It Up TV, not long before GREASE was announced.
Much was shared. Not just about what I’m up to career-wise, but my background, thoughts on mental health, the entertainment industry and lots more. There’s even a cheeky game at the end too.
For anyone wanting a bit more of an in-depth look into what I’m about, this is worth checking out. You can either watch the interview above, or listen to the podcast here.
