Alumni Play Starring Role in Hit Music Video

Almayra and Iman Shah, East Sussex College Performing Arts alumni, have continued to increase their presence in the industry after featuring in a brand-new music video for ever-growing music band, RLY.

RLY, a rising girl group sensation, released their brand-new single ‘Safe & Sound’ in February and invited Almayra and Iman to feature in their music video.

Since leaving the College, Almayra and Iman have thrived in the industry having featured in high profile adverts, music videos and they even opened London Fashion Week with world famous clothing brands Stella McCartney and Net-A-Porter!

Following a previous interview with the College in 2023, the twins spoke positively about their time studying and subsequent journey after leaving the College.

“I didn’t realise the benefits [of college, at the time] like boosting your confidence and developing your social skills,” said Almayra. “It’s also working towards something you want to do in the future - in our case, full-time acting. The College helps you pave a path to get into the industry. It’s the perfect stepping stone. I’d 100% recommend East Sussex College to others!”

Iman added, “College was great and so helpful when we had [acting] jobs to go to, because they helped us find ways to get our college work done and all the coursework. That was so important because we were kind of freaking out as we’d have out of college work on set dates, but everyone was helpful and understanding.”
