Brandon will be studying on our BA (Hons) Musical Theatre Performance programme. The Andrew Lloyd Webber scholar is generously supported by the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation.
Brandon previously studied the CertHE Acting (Foundation) at Italia Conti.

He received the top prize in Blue Cross’s national school competition for his kennel design. He also trained in diving at Tom Daley’s Diving Academy at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park Aquatics Centre.

He has visited both the Houses of Parliament in London and the United Nations Headquarters in New York. Brandon is passionate about creating, performing and pushing his creativity further.
Brandon said: “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.”
