Jacob
Jacob, a Year 10 student from City of Norwich School (CNS), has been playing electric guitar for nearly three years and is a self-taught musician. He finds guitar uniquely exciting, preferring its learning process and expressive possibilities over other instruments. In Norwich, he recently formed a band with friends, though he often performs solo. Participating in Ormiston’s Got Talent has been a pivotal experience, enhancing his performance skills, confidence, and motivation as a musician.

She began learning the art at age 5 and has since achieved notable milestones, including her Salanga Pooja at age 8, securing second place in Ormiston’s Got Talent in Birmingham, and completing her Arangetram in August 2024 – a rigorous solo performance marking her transition from student to performer.
