I love being an entertainer. I used to work in the music industry as an artist development manager, a DJ and a producer. I used to travel a lot for work - I was in and out the country all the time, so I didn’t really need a stable base here - but with Covid, all that stopped.
Now, I’m living in shared accommodation where I get no privacy. I’m working towards getting a place of my own, so I can feel independent again. I never lived at home after the age of 18 so I’m used to having my independence. This is why I want to start work as a Warehouse Operative - so I can get back on my feet again and start saving up so I can finance myself into my own flat. Beam has been an amazing route to help me do this and I'm so appreciative of anyone who would donate to my campaign.
Most of all, I’m a proud father to four beautiful children. I want to live somewhere where they’ll be proud to come and stay with me. It's not fair that when they come here, they have to come into contact with so many different strangers. One day, I want to buy a house of my own to set an example for my kids.
I’m a hard worker. I’ve been through difficult times before, so I see my life so far as a story to tell in my music. I’ll keep going.
Jonathan is working with Beam as he has been homeless within the last year.
