Nathaniel Berry

I have studied professionally for almost four years in the fields of media and drama whilst also actively participating in and growing my skills in other creative mediums outside of education. From the age of 10, I began perfoming in amateur shows like Mame and The Sound of Music where was nominated for a Rose Bowl Award and then went on to take Musical Theatre exams with the London College of Music, gaining a Distinction at Grade 8. I also learned piano for eight years where I achieved a Distinction at Grade 5 in both practical and theory. Because of this I began to write, produce and sing my own music, attending music production and songwriting courses to grow my skill. I released my first song, You Don't Come Here, in July 2019 which I distributed and branded myself and my most recent song The Mood was released in April 2021. The Mood recieved recognition from the likes of BBC Radio Introducing North East and Amazing Radio, and was featured in NARC, a magazine writing about independent bands and musicians in North East England. 

As I progressed into higher education, my creative focus shifted slightly from acting to media and production. I started presenting the weekly Friday Breakfast show on Spark Sunderland, the student radio station for the University of Sunderland, and the Saturday Breakfast show on Pride Radio, a local station in the North East catering towards LGBTQ+ listeners. I have also been trained in cinematography and audio production for television and film, having directed, produced and filmed documentaries, music videos and short films.
