From South Africa to the World Stage – Help Me Bring My Musical Theatre Dreams to Life

I’m Brandon Strydom, a South African actor and singer whose love for performing began at just six years old.
From my first school play to winning international awards, the stage has been my home and my heartbeat. The performing arts have given me more than just a career path, they’ve given me a voice, a purpose, and a way to connect deeply with others.

Over the years, I’ve trained and performed in musical theatre, drama, directing, and contemporary voice, pushing myself to grow in every role I take on. Now, I’ve been accepted to the New York Film Academy’s Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre, and I need your support to make this dream a reality.

My Reason Why:

Storytelling has the power to change lives.
When I step on stage, I don’t just perform, I invite audiences into a shared experience filled with honesty, emotion, and connection. With the right training and opportunities, I can amplify that impact and bring South African talent to the global stage.

Your support doesn’t just fund my studies, it fuels a lifelong mission to inspire, uplift, and give back through the arts.
