Tony George-Owens began his performing life from the age of 7 years old, where he joined the Kinder Children’s Choirs of the High Peak based in Derbyshire. He performed all over the country, abroad in France and Germany wi th many compet i t i on and

He went on to study Performing Arts and Cheadle & Marple Sixth Form College, and even per formed in the world amateur premiere as the lead character Lyovchik in the Vassily Sig arev play ‘Black Milk’. Despite the passion and the drive for the arts in 2008 he decided to enlist in Her Majesty’s Royal Air Force. In 2016 he decided to take up singing lessons to see the standard he was currently at after over 10 years of no vocal training. He was invited to teach at a school and also gained his Grade 8 and D i p l o m a i n M u s i c a l T h e a t r e Performance from the London College of Music within 6 months. He also became involved in local musical theatre productions, such as ‘Rock of Ages, ‘All Shook Up’ and ‘Our Day Out’. In 2019, prior to the pandemic he decided to take the plunge to go professional. Birdsong in Bedlam was one of the rst auditions he attended, but due to the pandemic halting all performances, has yet to make his professional stage debut. He hopes that his non-stereotypical route into the world of entertainment helps inspire others that either feel underqualied or haven’t been to drama school, so that they can also achieve their goals if they work hard and are passionate inwhat they believe in.
