I’ve made storylines through dance to complement the music. It’s all about enhancing the singing and acting. It’s been an amazing learning curve for me.

The most important thing any person can focus on, whether in a first audition or a first job, is to be the best you can be. The rest will take care of itself.

Although I won many titles on the competition circuit, my first professional audition was in 2015 for the popular German version of 'Strictly Come Dancing', called 'Let’s Dance'."

When you are different, that can lead to judges not marking you right because they think you look ‘odd’ - and that’s in any competition."
