I found out by accident that I had a talent for singing at a nightclub in West End. I had discovered my talent for singing and enrolled with 'Rafes Vocal Accademy' SE London.
I learned how to breath, harmonise, control vocals and emotions, how to write format songs and mic technique. Sadly, I could only afford to stay on the course for 6 months. Since then, I've enjoyed karoke events, singing at home and finally getting up on stage again with Roadhouse in 2003.

Dance had always been my first love, moving my body in extrodnary ways & expressing my emotions through music. Dancing was my passion, (still is) when I was a young girl. I was trained in cecchetti method ballet and took all exams up to intermeadate at 18 yrs of age. I continued to dance, mostly modern jazz classes at pineapple studios until I was 22. I had performed on stage many times as a dancer. At 23, I was still excecising, but stopped going to class. I still have to do certain excesises because of my intense training. I now prefer to do Yoga whenever I can. My poor body is starting to feel and show the effects of such an unatural method of dance.
However, I still have the moves and will challenge people on the dance floor at disco's nightclubs and parties.
