Lee Heron Actor & Writer
Hi everyone, my name is Lee Heron and I love to act and make people laugh.
Having slowly and thoughtfully built my resume with uni productions and other short films, I am now moving into feature films, having had supporting roles in the recent productions of Alien Sons, & Phoenix Rising.
I lived in the UK until I was twenty-three and possess a natural English accent, with an ability to mimic many others from there on demand; I am told I give producers the opportunity to use a true UK dialect in their films. Combined with my Geordie sense of humour, and easygoing nature, I have a perfect sense of natural timing for both comedic and serious roles.
I write, and we will be shooting producing various fomrs of entertainment in the very near future along with my colleagues in The Core Collective, which will be a pre-cursor to two features with one scheduled to shoot mid 2012.
Though I can also carry a tune and sing, my main focus is acting and being in front of camera...I come alive and it really illuminates my soul.
I am represented by Jill Rollo of V Management Brisbane., and for bookings, please contact Jilly and she will be happy to help you...and me!

‘World Star’ was featured on a Compilation CD of up and coming artists for the UK magazine, ‘Frontier’.
‘World Star’ enjoyed commercial airplay both locally and across the UK and Europe.
Bobby Kidd decided it was time to break out on his own. He used the knowledge and experience obtained from his days working in the recording studio and bought some home recording equipment and became serious about writing new songs.
Some of his earlier works were picked up by two local FM radio stations and were rotated on the Hot 30 Countdown.
Bobby Kidd became involved in the National Musicoz Competition in 2002, a national initiative dedicated to seeking out, recognising and encouraging the talents of unsigned and independent artists. He earned several nominations and awards through this competition over several years, leading to the opportunity to showcase his songs at Luna Park in Sydney in front of 850 radio and industry execs.
Now looking to expand his musical presence elsewhere in the world, Bobby Kidd is a musical powerhouse that deserves a listen.

In order to learn as much about music as he could, Bobby Kidd started working at a local music studio in Wollongong, a town just south of Sydney.
It was this environment that inspired him to sing, write songs and learn the guitar, piano and drums.
Bobby Kidd auditioned as a Keyboard Player and Backing Vocalist for the rock outfit ‘The Love Vandals’ who later become known as ‘World Star’.
After 2 years of solid gigging around Sydney and the Illawarra the band recorded their first album, which attracted management.

Jay P - Musician
To say Melbourne singer/songwriter Jay P is an intriguing man is an understatement.
A troubadour with music in his veins, it all started when a young Joseph Portelli, aged 5, grabbed some sticks and made drums out of upside-down buckets in the wash-house of his family’s village home in Malta. Jay P has forged a steely resolve. Positive, spiritual and deeply passionate, Jay P admits, “You live and learn. You have to experience some darkness to see the light”. And with that light comes a positive outlook on life, doing things his own way and, of course, his trusty acoustic guitar - his one constant in life.
Jay P's contemporary pop singer/songwriter style harks back to the 1970's, songs that come straight from the heart, based on real life experiences, positive with deep and soulful lyrics - the more you listen to Jay P's songs, the more you find yourself mesmerised, not only by his distinctive voice, but also by his music as well as the spiritual and positive message.
