I was born in Luanda, Angola in 1990 and arrived in London at 1 years in 1991 with my mother gaining refuge in Stroud Green where we along with my father who came here before me a year before shared an apartment with a few people who later became church members with us where my father started his church in 1992 and started a Cell group with grew and became a church and has been growing rapidly. Throughout my childhood I love for drawing and decided to pursue a career in animation from the age of 16 and have been developing since then designing work from university and animating outside my course, 

I can learn to adapt to any situation and environment and learn from them and connect with other people and learning from them whether it is alone or in a group and love working with a group as I am a team player and would like to learn and apply lessons to others. I am eager to work with different people and able to learn new things so I would like to share my knowledge with people and work with people who are equal to me as we can share ideas as well as work with people who are better than I am so that I learn from them and improve myself to make myself better.

I also wanted to explain struggles that I endured whilst attending a special needs unit in Sebright Primary school where it was separate from mainstream primary school students at the age of 5 years old  where I had been with other special needs children and could of went to primary school but didn’t because I was unable to speak and finally did manage to speak when I was 6 years old and got into Thomas Fairchild Primary school where I was placed under the language Resource base which was a unit for special needs school students to attend and occasionally study as I would attend mainstream classes with regular mainstream students who didn’t have special needs like I did and yet it felt uncomfortable around them.

Throughout the age of 9 years old I watched my first anime which was called Pokémon which at the time was major hit at the time throughout the year 1999 where I it transferred towards the west and yet appeared upon the UK screen where I witnessed it in Citv a children’s version of the ITV channel that occurred from 3:30pm until 5pm an appeared on Sky One Television although at the time I had never gained digital television until 2000 when my father received God Digital satellite installation and later Sky Digital with limited television channels excluding Sky One, Sky Box Office, Cartoon Network, Fox Kids, Nickelodeon, Disney and other channels although I had boomerang and regular television channels as well more so new channels, documentaries, religious and others. Despite that I didn’t gain influence from Anime until Digimon appeared in Citv where at first I wasn’t invested until I watched the show and was hooked although Digimon wasn’t popular as it and was considered a mini version of Pokémon as the show had a similar concept in the connection between the protagonists and animal partner although Digimon is opposite to Pokémon as this show focuses on Ash the lead protagonist of Pokémon where he travels to and battles in becoming a Pokémon Master whereas Digimon heavily focuses on the fight for justice between good and evil where animals called Digimon which stands for Digital Monsters that allows a Digimon to digivolve to defeat villains although Pokémon Digimon having a serious tone to their villains where I gained influence for Storytelling as well as character in terms of Storytelling and character development as well influence from characters although at the beginning my interests towards Anime and moulded my art style to how it is today, thus my exposure towards DragonballZ increased my desire for Anime even more as I saw other Anime like Sailor Moon, Cardcaptors, Medabots, Tenchi Muyo, Gundam Wing as the different styles would interest me more as I got to Beyblade I became interested to the character and inspiration developed when I watched  the final episode with Tyson Granger the main character of the show member of the Bladebreakers Team who becomes World Beyblading Champion after defeating Tala Valkov from the demolition boys and lead by Boris Balkov who was a member of the Biovolt Corporation an evil corporation lead by Voltaire also had villains yet their villainous characters that were comedic with Hawatari who is the grandfather of the leader of the Bladebreakers Kai Hawatari who left the Bladebreakers earlier in the series. Earlier prior to watching Beyblade I watched the next series of Digimon Series 2 featuring a new lead character Davis Motomiya whose hot-headed and has a crush on Kari Kamiya the sister to Digimon’s former protagonist Tai Kamiya and irritated by his rival to Kari whom Davis is jealous of called TK who was one of the character who also appeared in the first series along with Kari and tai and during this episode in Season 2 ep 4 Davis was irritated by TK and other members of the characters who were called Digidestined as they had partner Digimon and remembered Davis telling them to stop it with which became habit as I copied what and how he said it during my secondary effecting how I speak occasionally as I use an American accent at times especially unintentionally as it occurs naturally. I have not fully come up with an idea for my project as a whole but I am still working on this and am currently experimenting as I have always done as I have animated based on experimental means rather than planning ideas as it helps me create something on the top of my head rather than gain an idea and just creating a story right from the get go and then laying stories on where my character will go and the progress reaching the destination that I am heading into. I like to animate on the spot creatively because it allows me to be creative and carry on especially

I worked for Sword Security 4 years ago where I worked with the Voluntary Event Services to help block pedestrians from entering certain pavements as well as alerting them concerning incoming buggies within the Olympic Park and provided directions within the Olympic Park and would be stay in one place blocking areas and snapped photos for the public as well as photos being taken with me by the public during London 2012 Olympics & Paralympics.

Throughout my time in Secondary School I was given the opportunity to perform at the LSO (Luke Symphony Orchestra) where I performed the Celtic harp for the first time which I believed was the biggest performance as well as performing in a band consisting of 4 students in my class who played the drums in three different locations from Hackney Empire, Clapton Community College, Hackney Baths and performed out last performance at Clapton Community College the second time to end our time together as a band and classmates.
