Joseph Ridgely

43 from Birmingham, United Kingdom
Model, Actor, Musician
I have always been in a creative type job where I have worked hard and I am very use to flexible hours. I work well in teams and also can work on my own very well. I respond to constructive criticism of my work and serve the audience whom I am performing to. I enjoy performing and love to be with people , I am very positive in outlook and enjoy life to the full seizing the moment and going with it. My main art form is performing magic, which I love all aspects . I started this as a hobby when I was 9 years old and it progressed through the years into my full time profession. I do train people in becoming magicians and usually after 6 months they are ready to begin their first public performance. I also enjoy the blues and am quite accomplished Blues Harmonica player. I am originally from USA and have been in the UK long enough to be sensitive to the British culture. This affords a very different perspective on how I do my act.

I can play most styles and just about any song on harmonica (Harp) in the context of a band as it is a flavour instrument and I play by ear. I have been in several bands and it gives a unique sound to the most common of tunes. I can also play Rhythm guitar. My favorite genre is the Blues. "JP Wild" Ridgely

NB. I have a very flexible schedule!
