About me

I have been singing since I was a little girl and it is my passion!  I initially started in musical theatre and that was when I began taking singing lessons, aged 14.  This gave me the opportunity to explore opera, performing in Benjamin Brittan’s ‘Paul Bunyan’ and taking the lead role of ‘Lucy’ in Menotti’s ‘The Telephone’.

Whilst at university in London, I returned to musical theatre and I continued with this once I graduated in law; taking the role of ‘Hodel’ in ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ at Portsmouth University during my Masters and becoming a member of Masquerade Musical Theatre Company in Reading when I moved to this area. I was a member of Reading Phoenix Choir from 2006 to 2014 and I have a deep love of choral music.  

I began singing lessons again in 2008 and since then I've worked hard to build my solo repertoire and experience with items at choral concerts, in large works such as ‘The Messiah’, and by participating in local festivals. I've twice won the Borough of Basingstoke Cup for the adult with the most honours at Basingstoke Music and Arts Festival and I won the Norman Morris Recital Trophy from Woodley Festival 2 years running.  I achieved distinction in grade 8 singing in 2014 and I was recently awarded my Licentiate of Trinity College London Diploma in Musical Performance with distinction. I study under Rebecca Cooper.

I really enjoy teaching singing. Please contact me for lessons - I believe that mastery of good technique will enable you to sing any style you want!

I also love rock and metal music and I'm in several bands. ​Check out links to them below:

Please browse my website and I hope we can work together soon.
