Beru was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. He moved to London in the early 90's and has been a Londoner ever since. After finishing school, Beru trained as an actor at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Upon graduating from RADA, Beru worked professionally as an actor, mainly in theatre, spending several seasons at Shakespeare's Globe and various other theatres around the country. During the years as an actor, Beru experimented with playwriting and started to develop as a dramatist. However, Beru became more interested in a more cinematic style of storytelling, and in 2012 enrolled in the screenwriting course at LFS.

Beru is currently developing a TV drama and writing his second feature script.
