About Croth
My parents described having me growing up in their house as "like trying to catch a firework". I think that's pretty dead on. They say they found me at 4 years old hanging off the highest shelf in our house. They have no idea how I got there and nothing's really changed since. In an effort to distract me they bought me a drum kit and i've stayed at it since. As a kid I was put at an "exclusion" table for months. In the words of my year 5 teacher it "wasn't to do with disobedience, you're doing fantastic! It's just none of the other kids can get any work done when you're sitting next to them..." It's taken me 21 years to hone my anti-distraction skills and now i'm finally allowed to sit at the big kids table, or as most know it; advertising, where we practise Dudley Moore's best quote; "Isn't fun just the best thing you can have?"
When I was 5, I smashed all of my mother's prized ornaments (accidentally) so I am now driven to succeed in life so that she might forgive me. Growing up in Norwich I was unaware of "the outside world", since then I've been a makeup artist, hairdresser, potato rumbler and a hostel worker in Hungary, where I made English Breakfasts and sung to people whilst they showered. (Neither of which were a necessary requirement). Some of my biggest passions include Harry Potter trivia, good gravy and gin. My biggest regret in life is choosing the clarinet in music class, not the guitar. You can't really pull off the 'badass' look by acquiring grade 3 in woodwind. Studying creative advertising has ruined me, no longer do I make any sense, my parents have no idea what I have been doing in London and I question my sanity on a daily basis.
