About me
Session & concert singer - all styles.My work as a vocal performer takes me in all creative and musical directions, from commercial studio session work to opera, jazz, folk and contemporary music as well as the world of acting and voiceover work.
I enjoy variety and session work as well as recitals and musical theatre.
I trained at Trinity College of Music and Guildhall, principally as a soprano, gaining my Fellowship and Licenciate.
I sing in a wide range of styles, from celtic and jazz to edgy pop and dramatic colluratura soprano.
My favourite environment is the recording studio. I love to work in many different styles and with different musicians, playing with harmony and vocal layers.
