About Aaron
Aaron and Steve the Branding Man lived together between 2007 and 2009, while Steve was transitioning from teaching to student recruitment. Aaran always had an inspiring passion and drive for achieving his goals, no matter how much hard work and focus, that mightinvolve. Entrepreneur and business owner Aaron Carty, one of Essex Police’s youngest ever police officers at 18 and a half years old, left to pursue his dream of working in the media industry, creating films and marketing campaigns. As he had no money, qualifications or experience, this was not an easy feat.
As the International Beyoncé Impersonator, Aaron burst onto the scene in 2015 on Britain’s Got Talent, where he wowed the judges with his Crazy In Love / Single Ladies routine with his six female dancers. Having been a police officer for five years really got the press’ attention; as did his fame when he arrested, the now late Jade Goody. Since Britain’s Got Talent, Aaron has performed all over the world including New York, Las Vegas, L.A, Seychelles, Berlin and Sitges. He has performed for Coca-Cola and even international royalty. On top of that, he’s done three UK tours including performances in front of 20,000 people at Trafalgar Square as part of Pride in London and the explosively amazing Mighty Hoopla festival with The Grand.
Beyoncé Experience is exactly that – a full Beyoncé concert experience including choreography, an army of female dancers, couture costumes and over 40 of Beyoncé’s best loved hits from Destiny’s Child to Lemonade .
