About Me

She's a London Grrl! Born and bred! Writing songs since 14, her first solo gig in front of a paying audience in a London club was at 15. She's since cut her teeth performing live, writing and fronting several bands - including 4 years as front woman for London based band 'Fat Man Kicks Cat' - a filthy funk and dirty disco 5 piece.Since going solo, she's been working with a wide variety of Producers, Writers and Musicians - all of whom have helped to nuture and expand her music. Recent work has included writing and singing for leading UK Garage producer Sunship, work with BreakBeat producer GoodGuy @ 2deep Studios, tracks featured on 2 albums (242 Clones, and Miami Beach Plugging 2003) and co-written music which has featured on a reality TV show for Sky Television. Having graduated from The Vocal Tech Academy in London, Miss Tea has performed at notorious London venues including Cargo - Shoreditch, Shepherds Bush Empire, Notting Hill Arts Club and the Cobden Club. Going back to her roots, she went back to her trusty piano to produce the latest album of songs. Check her out at one of the gig dates below!
