Currently I am a full time Content creator and actor and I have been creating skits and comedy content for the past 2 years, being able to monetise what I do in every avenue. Thanks to my content, i have been blessed enough to travel the world, won an international award, and cast in my first big screen feature film.
My specific target audience would be Indian and local kids who have grown up in an environment being told that a career in entertainment is not viable. However, my journey has shown what can be achieved through hard work and dedication to your craft.
I best associate my career with that of Mindy Kaling and Lily Singh, both are Indian females who started off their careers as writers like myself. I studied a degree in writing and progressed to in front of the camera thereafter.
This is where I would like to be in the next 5 years, running my own productions and telling my own stories.
As cliché as it is, I’ve learnt over the years that authenticity is what keeps you relevant and engaging. Don’t try to emulate another creator or performer, they already exist! There is only ONE you and there is always an audience to match what you offer.
As I grow and evolve I share this with my audience, being together from the beginning we share the experiences together.
