A promising student, Brandon, has been awarded a scholarship from the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation to pursue a BA (Hons) Musical Theatre Performance degree at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. This prestigious award marks a significant step in his artistic journey.
Previously, Brandon honed his acting skills through the CertHE Acting (Foundation) programme at Italia Conti. His foundational training in the performing arts began at the Hazlitt Institute for Performing Arts, where he spent over four years engaged in Youth Theatre and Musical Theatre. His training there also included dedicated singing and dance classes. During his time at the Hazlitt Institute, he showcased his talent in various productions, including Boys Will Be Boys, Shrek the Musical, and The Adventures of Elf. He also performed with Bint Theatre in Le Office.
Beyond performing, Brandon harbours a strong passion for film and television, with a particular interest in creating, writing, and directing his own projects. He has independently produced several short films and a music video, and has authored two original plays. His talent for creative expression was also recognised when he secured second place in Wierszowisko, a poetry and recitation competition organised by the Polish Educational Society, representing his Polish school. Furthermore, he won first prize in a national school competition for his kennel design, organised by Blue Cross. His diverse training also includes diving, having trained at Tom Daley’s Diving Academy at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park Aquatics Centre.
Brandon has also engaged in international diplomacy and debate through participation in Harvard Model United Nations, where he represented Senegal on the Economic and Financial Committee. His experiences have included visits to both the Houses of Parliament in London and the United Nations Headquarters in New York. He remains dedicated to creating, performing, and continually expanding his creative boundaries.
“"I’m endlessly grateful to have been awarded the Andrew Lloyd Webber Scholarship and to begin my training at Trinity Laban. It’s an opportunity the younger version of me could never have imagined. I’ve always loved entertainment, especially those moments in a show or film that make my heart drop and remind me why I want to pursue this path for the rest of my life. A huge thank you to my family, friends, and community for their support. My mum has always told me I have the talent to make my dreams come true; I carry those words with me by doing my best while remembering how much I still have to learn. I’m so excited to keep growing, learning, and making the people who believed in me proud."
