Drew Neemia

Drew Neemia began his screen career young. In 1996 he was the voice of child character Oscar on fantasy series Oscar and Friends, before joining McDonald’s Young Entertainers, where he spent three seasons singing and dancing. In the same period he played recurring characters in a handful of shows, including as one of William Tell's sidekicks in The Legend of William Tell. In 2006 he began co-hosting afterschool show Sticky TV, then in 2009 shifted to C4 to present music video show Select Live. Neemia later embarked on his own music career, including Top 10 single 'Paint Fade', alongside hip hop trio Smashproof.

I pretty much grew up here. I started working on McDonald's Young Entertainers when I was about 10 years old, finished when I was 13, and all I can remember from back then is just being a kid and having an extreme amount of fun.
