Hiya reader! Something has spiked your interest! You are here to get to know me, to find out a little bit more about me, to have a nosey perhaps. I wanted to create a post where I introduce myself as the face behind this blog. So here's 10 somewhat riveting facts all about Katy:
I am a very creative person - if you hadn't already guessed by the acting career, dancing, singing, music....the list goes on. I love being creative and using my energy to think outside of the box. There is no limit to my imagination!
I am a Pisces. Now some people don't see any truth in star signs, but I on the other hand, find it immensely interesting. I downloaded this App called Co Sign, which allows you to see how you and your friends interact based purely on your own accurate and personal astrology. Amazing!
I am Vegan. I went fully plant powered back in September 2020 after moving out of my family home and over to London. Before this point, I hadn't eaten meat since 2018 and had switched to plant based milks and a solely pescatarian diet. I have found so many wonderful vegan recipes, restaurants and brands since turning plant based, and I will never look back.
I was born in Bath. So, it is no great surprise to people who know me well that I have lived in many different houses. However, a lot of people don't know that I was born in the South West! Bath is gorgeously quaint, and despite moving off to Lincolnshire before I could walk and having no memory of how it was in the early 2000s, I have been back to visit my birthplace since and can vouch for its beauty!
I have always wanted to live in London. London has been calling my name since I was a child. I remember coming up to London on the train to watch my first West End show, visiting the City for school trips, and going on days out window shopping with my mum. London is a part of who I am now, and I feel so lucky to call it my home.
I have a very eclectic music taste. Thanks to my parents both working in the crux of the music industry, I have inherited a very wide, weird and wonderful music taste. I love anything from 80s classics all the way to Classical music, Broadway and Disney, to modern punk, indie rock and lo-fi pop. Some of my current favorite artists are the 1975, Cleopatrick, Sick Joy, Billie Eilish, Tame Impala and Duran Duran.
I love cereal. A bit of a random one, but I could literally eat cereal for breakfast lunch and dinner. In particular, Fruit and Fibre, Crunchy Nut Cornflakes or Cheerios.
I have never been to Manchester, Newcastle, Liverpool, Ireland OR Scotland. This is quite shocking to some people, but for a girl that has lived in quite a few areas around the UK, I have never visited these 5 place, even though I would love to!
I have two half brother and a half sister. Another fact that not a lot of people tend to know. I have a half brother, Dan and a half sister, Hollie, on my Dad's side. And I have a half brother, Wilf, on my mum's side. They are all much older than me but I love them dearly. Family means so much to me!!
I have always known deep down that I wanted to become an actor. I remember watching Meryl Streep in the film - The Devil Wears Prada, and I was mesmerized by the way she had the power to make an audience cry, laugh, feel scared, feel sadness, or anger, or pity, or joy. I turned to my mum and said - that is exactly what I want to do. I used to tell my family as a little girl that I didn't need to do my homework because I was going to be an actor when I grew up. How fabulous is that?!
