“It’s really interesting now, as a musician, how something like acting and drama skills can correlate with something like music. I am really grateful for my time at urban”

MahaliaBrit & Grammy Award-Nominated Artist

“I gained so much confidence at Urban. It didn’t happen overnight but I gradually started to improve and enjoy myself by taking risks and acting silly. Having gained that confidence at UYA, I then succeeded in getting a place at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts.”

Jurell Carter‘Nate’ in Emmerdale

“I came to Urban as a 13-year-old energetic and mischievous kid, not knowing anything about acting. Without Urban, there is no way I would’ve even been able to make a dent in the industry”
