Worked in various productions throughout the years, including the UK West End and work across Europe, television, two short films and extensive singing engagements.

Amongst others, my credits include the UK tour and original West End cast of Footloose the Musical, directed by Karen Bruce. After watching the show, Peter Brown of the London Theatre Guide described me as " a formidable presence on stage with a great soulful voice to boot”.

I have a diploma in Performing Arts and hold a BA hons in Arts Management (Performing Arts Major).

I am a highly skilled and experiened gospel singer. Although I originally trained and performed with the English National Opera as a child, I diversified into other genres and am as comfortable singing rock, pop, gospel and funk as I am jazz and opera.

As an experienced front lady I would be interested in fronting an experimental soul/hiphop/jazz band that is not afraid to fuse music together. Would also consider backing for paid work only.
