I studied Classical singing and piano at Colchester Institute's School of Music and graduated in 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts Honours Degree. Since leaving college I have sung in Barnet Choral Society and have performed as a mezzo soprano soloist and pianist/organist at weddings and other functions and special occasions. During the past eleven years I have worked successfully as a private vocal coach and piano tutor, teaching adults and children of varying abilities. In 2000 I married my husband, Rod and now have two wonderful children, Stephanie 6 and Marcus 3. I have continued my love of composing and arranging music in my spare time and am greatly inspired by the revolutionary Classical Crossover style. My dream is to be signed by a record company who could provide me with the support I need to record and release an album of my own work.

Influences: The artists appearing on Classic FM TV have been my biggest recent influence as they have given me great insight into how Classical Music can be 'brought back to life' and made more appealing to a wider audience(especially young people). My favourite artists are : Enya, The Choir Boys, Libera, Adiemus, The Scala Choir, Clannad, Cold Play, Evanescence, Sarah McLachlan, Il Divo, Sarah Brightman, All angels, Angelis, Eva Cassidy, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Natasha Marsh, Aled Jones and Katherine Jenkins. I have always loved traditional 'classical' music especially that written in the Baroque and Romantic eras and am also very fond of 'pop'music, especially ballad type songs. I feel that my music is influenced in some way by all of the above.
Sounds Like: Modern Classical/a combination of 'classical' and 'pop' music.
Type of Label: None
