Joel Dawson Bates was born on April 26, 1993, in Glasgow, Scotland,
where he lived for a very short period before moving near to Liverpool,
England, where he attended school. Involving himself in amateur stage
productions since he was nine, Bates later at the age of fifteen joined
his local youth theatre group 'Off The Ground', with whom he performed
in five productions. During his later school years, Bates became
involved with 'Film Instinct', a low-budget film company which set
Bates on his first film role as 'Davis' in Richard Weston's digital
film 'The Young' in 2011. After the premiere of 'The Young', Bates
enrolled at the University of Kent to study Drama with English &
American Literature.
