Suhayl Iqbal

I’m Suhayl, founder of 3Light Media and 3Light Talent, and Birmingham is home. For the last 12 years I’ve run 3Light Media, a production company making films and content for brands like Microsoft, Coca-Cola and Audi. In that time I’ve worked with a lot of talented people who found it hard to get seen. Most of the big casting platforms they had to use were owned in America, charged a lot, and didn’t do much to help people starting out. So I built 3Light Talent. It’s a UK-owned platform where actors, dancers, models, presenters, voice artists and crew can find paid work. It takes no commission and gives them a proper contract on every role. I run most of it myself, from the product to the content to replying to members, because I want it done right. What drives me is simple. I want the next big name from Birmingham to get their first break here, without having to leave to find it
