I’m very honoured to feature in the FM Spotlight for the videos I create on YouTube. I started uploading in late-2013 and felt a little silly recording videos that potentially nobody would watch, but the immediate support I received was very motivating. I focus on making creative content, almost thinking outside-of-the-box, and ‘Win One Take One’ has captured that exactly how I wanted and has proven to be very popular. I am uploading daily videos at the moment, and I have a list of a few series ideas I’m looking forward to trying out in the future!
