I have been on a few photo shoots for corporate purposes, but have mostly been involved in the acting side of things in my career, however I am keen to see if I can go further in the modeling side of things. I am reliable, easy to work with and I always act in a professional way. There are more photographs of me on my web site at www.samsonvideoproductions.co.uk

I am a Baritone & have been trained by a Scottish Vocal Coach over a number of sessions throughout 2009/2011.
You can hear me singing 'I believe' and the "Impossible Dream" on my profile.
I was a member of the Falkirk Caledonian Choir for 3 years.
I was involved in musical theatre productions throughout my school years & even performed for local pensioners groups whilst in the Police.
I was raised in a family where singing was almost 'compulsory' & each person had their own 'party piece' which they performed at family gatherings & you had to be good!
I just love singing & I sing wherever I can from in the shower to out walking my dogs!.
I joined the Cumbernauld Choir for their 2016 Christmas concert.
