About

Gary became an Internet sensation following the global success of ‘Look Up’. The video which has attracted over 600 million views worldwide, is a five minute spoken word poetry performance mixed with a filmed narrative which looks at how the overuse of smartphones and social media can disengage us from real experiences, human interactions and living in the real world.

Gary’s work has gone on to inspire masses across the globe gaining worldwide coverage including BBC News, Fox News, TIME and more. Gary himself has appeared on BBC Breakfast, The One Show, Good Morning Britain, Sunrise (Australia), and The Today Show (USA), among many others.

‘Look Up’ is the Most Viewed Spoken Word Video on the Internet, and went on to win Best Viral Film at Cannes Media & TV Awards. It was nominated in the Webby Awards (The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences), and went on to win two awards for Best Viral Film and Best Individual Performance. Gary was awarded ‘Global Thought Shaper of the Year’ by the United Nations WTO for his work encouraging people to better appreciate the world around them.

Gary currently has over 63 million views and 120,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel, plus an additional 32,000 followers and 5 million views on his social media platforms.
