About Me

I am a 23 year old postgraduate who has graduated from Northumbria University. I was born in Kent (unfortunately) but am currently in Middlesbrough working as an Information Assistant at the University of Teesside for 6 months. When I was in Hull I discovered karaoke and the legend that is Ben Jovi was born. I continued to do this throughout my time at Hull and then every Thursday at Northumbria. As my "stage" name suggests I sing Bon Jovi, but I've also done songs by Def Leppard, and more recently, Van Halen, Whitesnake, Guns N' Roses, Alice Cooper, Queen, Aerosmith, Nickelback and Metallica. I also give a performance that needs to be seen to be believed... ..
