My acting experience is limited to school productions and various music videos I have been in, which required me to play characters such as a torch singer, a diva and a man.

During my time in The 411, I took part in a number of photoshoots for Magazines including FHM, Arena Touch, Blues & Soul, TOTP Magazine, Smash Hits, Company, and Bliss amongst others. These photshoots ranged from lingerie shoots (FHM)to fashion (Arena) and promo for our group.

I was in the girl group, The 411, for 2 years. We had two top 5 UK singles and an album. The singles and album were also released all around Europe, in Australia (where our singles reached the top 30) and in Japan (where one of our album tracks reached number 3 in the airplay charts).

I have been Candi Staton's regular female backing vocallist for the last 4 years, as well as singing for Peabo Bryson, Billy Paul, Bonnie Tyler, Russell Thompkins Jr, Carl Carlton, Freda Payne, James Ingram, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr, Deniece Williams, Dorothy Moore, Julio Iglesias, Journey South, Shayne Ward and Leona Lewis and Take That.

Currently I am signed to Peppermint Jam Records, Mousse T's label based in Germany (with an album coming out later this year), touring with Candi Staton throughout the UK and Europe, as well as taking part in a number of other projects.

I was a contestant on the 2008 series of the X Factor, reaching the final 6 in my category and just missing out on being selected to take part in the live shows.
