About Me

Having deep roots in the arts, Parhys began performing in childhood, attending the prestigious Barbara Speake Stage School in West London (alumni of Naomi Campbell and Phil Collins). Having her skills nurtured and igniting the fire of passion for creativity inside her, Parhys was able to achieve great success, from a role in Eastenders to the groundbreaking feat of being the first black girl to take the role of Young Nala, in the West End's 'The Lion King'. With family ties to Brooklyn and Queens, New York, Parhys' inspiration stems the mix of the British and American authentic culture.
