Born on the ancestral lands of the Giabal people in Queensland, Australia, a place deeply rooted in their heritage and identity, where the rich cultural tapestry of the region would shape their early years. Their parents, Eileen Cronin, a dedicated and compassionate nurse, and Peter Castles, a skilled and creative saddler, provided unwavering love and support, fostering a strong sense of self and purpose.
As a young individual, they were drawn to the world of music, with aspirations of making a name for themselves in this creative field, and it was only natural that they would be drawn to the art of performance. However, their first drama class during high school years marked a turning point, as the art of acting emerged as a viable and tantalizing option, one that would soon become the focal point of their creative endeavors.
This newfound passion led them to pursue a degree in theatre from the esteemed University of Southern Queensland, where they honed their craft and developed a strong foundation in the performing arts, laying the groundwork for a successful and fulfilling career. After completing their studies, they embarked on a journey to London and Melbourne, two cities that would play a significant role in shaping their career and artistic identity, offering a wealth of opportunities to refine their skills and push the boundaries of their creativity.
It was during this time that they refined their comedic skills through stand-up performances, eventually making Melbourne their home and a place where they would continue to grow and flourish as an artist, surrounded by like-minded individuals who shared their passion for the performing arts.
