About Me
TL;DR: Actor. Singer. Dancer. Ginger.
THE LONG:
I've always had a love for music. My parents told me I came dancing out of
the womb!One day in Elementary School, my mom came up to me and said
"hey Gideon... do you want to take singing lessons?"
​
And then my performance journey started.
​
I performed in the talent show circuit around the Tennessee area with
my voice teacher, Katie Hicks by my side. I also joined my first IMPROV
group. We didn't have theatre in my hometown, but my parents saw I
liked to be on stage, so they founded the group.
When I moved in sixth grade to Henderson, Tennessee, I was thrown into theater. The high school theater teacher asked me to sing for him, and then I was cast as "Benjamin" in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I was bitten by the "theater bug" and never stopped. I participated in the virtual Jimmy Awards for the Mid South region and I am still the only person to win TTA's "Best Actor" award twice. Towards the end of high school, I started posting skits on TikTok and went "viral" racking up more than a million followers by the time I graduated. Now on the streets of New York I am constantly stopped and asked "Hey! Aren't you that guy!?" And I always reply "Yes..."
I was accepted into AMDA and graduated in 2022. Since then, I've been performing all over New York City and different regional houses.
My TikTok has also grown to over 3 million followers!
