Highlights
-
See acting!
-
I'm a singer but have always been interested in acting as well. No experience, but keen to learn.
-
I am a singer based out of Chester with many years performing and recording experience. More recently, I have taken my hand to song writing too which I am enjoying.
I try to bring something different to my covers, and pride myself on my diverse repertoire of songs over 7 decades, with genres including Pop, Rock, R&B, Soul, Swing and Disco. I have an acoustic set which has been a popular choice for pubs, restaurants and weddings around Hampshire, and do backing track sets too for parties etc. on top of this, I work with some great musicians allowing me to offer not only my solo act, but also duo, trio and full band options. I am also able to step in to work with other musicians, do session work and collaborate.
I have been a singer for near on a decade as a part of bands and duos, and as a solo act.
I have performed at various venues around the South Coast including South Parade Pier, the Ferneham Hall and the Wedgewood Rooms, as well as casinos, restaurants and pubs. As well as this, I have been lucky enough to perform overseas in Australia, Thailand and the USA.
Looking to do even more in 2015!
