About me:
I'm a versatile singer and keyboard player. I love performing, getting out of my skin, out of my comfort zone. I sing jazz, opera, covers. I like to play the piano while I sing as a solo act, sing with a guitarist as a duo, right up to singing with full sized Big Band. I sing in the chorus for the NBR NZ Opera company too, which is great fun, especially fun are the costumes, and of course being on stage with an orchestra in the pit.

My experience in acting has mostly been on the stage with the NBR NZ Opera Company Chorus for 7 years, and in musicals in various companies.
