My journey to find my dad started in the attic of my London flat in January this year. That's where I sat to look at these pictures of him for the first time. I'm an only child and my parents split up when I was a baby. Nobody in the family had heard from him since. But I always knew there would be a moment in my life when I would need to go and meet my dad at least once.

I’m 27 now and live in South London. I grew up in Birmingham and went to Leeds University where I presented a specialist music show on the student radio station. The show received a bit of notice and won a few awards, and this ultimately led to my current career as a radio show host for BBC Radio 1Xtra. I've done some acting too: my first feature film, Freehold - a horror with comedic elements - came out in 2017. And I recently landed a role in the new BBC drama series Informer. I’m happy with the way my life is going so far, but before I started on this journey, I always had a nagging feeling that something in my life was unresolved.
