About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Colorful flowers

I am currently in my third year studying Jazz at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama. I have toured with and performed regularly for The National Youth Jazz Orchestra and have been lucky enough to make guest appearances in such places as Pizza On The Park and Ronnie Scott -where gratefully, my jazz career was encouraged to be explored and persued. Two summers ago I flew to Jersey to take vocal workshops and perform in the JazzLive Festival, and their very own Jazz In The Park Concert. Since then I have spent my time playing jazz in a few venues around London and collaborating with several artists on projects of different genres: I have just recorded an exclusive track with GFunk for the charity C.A.L.M, which will be appearing on their website around Christmas. It is a fantastic cause, so please check them out at www.thecalmzone.net. So please keep in touch, come back soon, as with age they say comes wisdom, and so with a few years more training comes a more powerful and experienced voice... thank you for stopping by... - a x
