Cennedy Craven's Bio
It's all about me
Acting since I was 6, playing guitar since I was 8 and singing my whole darn life! I mean, that is the obvious stuff right? But did you know I'm also a first degree black belt and have won medals in both the 2023 and 2024 ICO World Championships? No? Better read all this page then!
My Story
I've been told that I started singing when I started talking, dancing when I could walk and playing music when I had a drum set for my second birthday. the drums have taken a back burner for now, and all things stringed are now my focus, but the singing and dancing continue!
​
My acting started properly when I joined a Mark Jermin Stage School in 2019. Starring in a Legoland advert soon after. Can you imagine my parents explaining to me that Legoland isn't usually opened just for a handful of actors and a film crew and that normally you need to queue....
​
Acting has grown and grown and I have worked with Netflix, ITV, Greenpeace, several projects with the BBC and I was even lucky enough to meet Kitt Harrington when I shot for an upcoming film.
​
As an actor I pride myself on learning both the scene and the lines in scripts with extreme detail. I like to harness the inner dialogue as well as the spoken lines. On set, I'm a professional, well mannered actor and I always take feedback well and I'm also happy to share my opinions too.
​
Back on the music side, I play electric, 6 and 12 string acoustic and bass guitar. I'm also learning piano, threatening to go back to the drums as well as dabbling with the banjo.
​
I'm very active on the South Wales music scene, I've played local gigs, sung at young performer events and I am a regular at open mic nights in the area.
I'm vocally coached by Catrin Bevan-Harries BMus (Hons) PG Dip and my style is both diverse and powerful. I have been described as having country, rock and punk running through my performances.
Aside from the music and acting, I have a passion for kickboxing. Yep, kickboxing! I train weekly at the G&K Martial Arts academy and monthly with the ICO Welsh Squad. Don't worry, I don't fight near filming dates... At the 2023 and 2024 ICO World Championships, I won bronze medals. I'm currently training towards the 2025 World Championship.
​
In school, I'm a digital ambassador and self confessed geek. I was at the Cyber First Wales conference in February 2025. I'm a very active member of the choir and I play guitar and violin in the orchestra.
​
All in all, life is pretty darn good!
