About Me


I am a singer/songwriter working across the North East as a jazz and session singer. I currently perform with guitarist Neil Diffley performing a mixture of jazz, latin and blues numbers and with the Moving Parts jazz ensemble. I also sing with the fabulous pianist, Sam Parker and accompany myself singing all types of music from jazz to pop and blues. *** I have recorded at various studios, working as a session singer for many different companies and artists. I am also the vocalist and songwriter for the Halifax based babyballet company, writing and recording music for children of all ages to dance to. These CD's are on commercial release and available through babyballet.co.uk. *** I am also predominantly a singing teacher. ***
