ABOUT
Selina Black is a triple threat — she convinces as a screen actress, singer and songwriter. Recently, Black played a human rights activist in Mostofa Farooki's Saturday Afternoon, a one-shot terror drama that won awards worldwide including the Russian Film Critics Award. Black's lyrics can be heard in videos such as Soul of the Pantanal by Chris Schmid, award-winning photographer and filmmaker. Black also worked as a recording artist and songwriter with jazz musicians such as the late Wayne Brown from The Virtual Jazz Band. Born and raised in Switzerland, Black began to express her creativity at a young age, showcasing it in long essays, original songs, theatre performances at Metzenthin Children’s and Youth Theatre and in small film roles. |
After grammar school, Black moved to London where she attended the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance and trained as a professional singer-songwriter. This was followed by a record deal with VME Records and seven years of collaboration. Initially, Black was drawn to acting to add the finishing touches to her stage presence as a solo singer. However, she quickly fell in love with the medium and pursued a career as a screen actress. She trained and continues to keep her skills sharp at The Actors Centre.
Black has appeared in numerous films such as Operation Cobra, Swear and The Power of Max, the latter screened at Raindance Film Festival.
