[edit] Upbringing

Geoffrey M. Gleadall was born in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England in the United Kingdom in 1977 under the constellation of Virgo and was brought up in the parish of Loversall, at the 13th Century Anglican church where he was a chorister and lesson reader. With his mother being a supervisor for a national catering firm and his father being a bricklayer, he was brought up in a working class environment on a private housing estate as the only child of that marriage. He attended state schools and was taught privately by Mary Barton and Cary Williams in elocution, drama, literature, French horn and singing. From the age of ten, he was involved in pantomimes and drama festivals where he won several trophies for dramatic solo, poem-writing, prose-reading, bible-reading and poetic recital.
