How discovered:
I was scouted on Instagram by another model who said I would do well and gave me the contact details of his booker, I spoke to the booker on the phone and sent in some pictures and I’m now represented by Select

Favorite things:
I enjoy going to the gym and working out, and I can’t live without pizza, I love pizza more than anything – aha it completes me.

Favorite music, band:
At this very second that I’m typing the answers to these questions I’m listening to Change Up by Yung Jules, but my favorite song is probably Man of the Year by Schoolboy Q, and favorite artist of all time is Wiz Khalifa.

Favorite movie, tv show:
I love lots of movies but Norbit and Wolf of Wall Street I enjoyed a lot. Narcos on Netflix is the last tv series I watched and I loved it. Prison Break, U.S The Office and Breaking Bad are favorite tv series so far.

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:
There isn’t a particular brand that I watch out for but I do love my Calvin Klein boxers, I like clothes from lots of brands, Adidas Originals are making nice clothes lately, Bathing Ape is nice. The fragrance I use is Diesel’s Only For The Brave, and I don’t use any beauty products.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
I don’t know what I’d be doing if I weren’t modeling and after modeling I’d like to go into acting possibly, I’m not sure what I’m going to do with myself so I’m just going where things are taking me for now.

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
I love cartoons, I don’t know if that’s ‘uncool’ but I’m pretty cool so… yeah ;)

Favorite modeling experience so far?
I really enjoyed going to Milan to do the Calvin Klein presentation, I had lots of fun with that and met new people and discovered that I love Japanese food.

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
My favorite thing about the country is that Britain make some really nice cars like Range Rovers and Aston Martins

Which brand would you really love to model for?
Calvin Klein

Place you would love to visit:
Australia, I’d love to see the Great Barrier Reef, also Thailand looks so beautiful.

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
I’ve not got anything on my mind, I’m relaxed, I have my music. If anything I’m waiting on Wiz’s Rolling Papers 2 album to drop.
