I’m the founder of WhatTalent.com - The Internet Hub for the Creative World
My vision is to create a United Artists for the digital age; an online community that encompasses and encourages all forms of creativity: Music, Film, Art & Craft, Performance, Broadcast, Fashion, Design, Photography, Writing and New Media.
I used to work as an actor and then the broadcast and music industries and my experience is there are many barriers to entry into the creative world. It frustrates me that talented people often turn away from the career of their dreams because of a lack of time, money, contacts and knowledge.
I want to break these barriers down by building an open and networked ecosystem that pulls together the creative world, where talented people can promote and develop their work and skills, manage creative projects, network and trade with like-minded people and crucially where talented people can engage with the suppliers to, and the recruiters of talented people.
