RANDY
I was recently commissioned to write a song for a short film which in turn won best short at Palm Beach International Film Festival. In addition to this, a previous composition was featured. Further footage and music will be available online soon.
- MUSIC TEACHER -
Taking into account everything that I have learned, for two years I taught seven local children simple piano and vocal skills, which we’d put into practice by learning some of their favorite songs. This gave me the chance to work with younger people and understand how to communicate with different age groups.
- ACTING -
During the summer of 2014, I was cast in S4C’s Gwaith Cartref, playing the role of Leilah, a Welsh singer-songwriter. During the fifth season, I had the opportunity to perform and record a song for the series, which was aired in the final episode. This gave me the experience of working in a professional and equally creative environment.
