About Me

"I'd like to direct your attention to something that needs directing to"...
Well, I'm 27, originally from London but now live in Andover,Hampshire with my cat Jimi, and my lovely flatmate Helen. Oh, and I'm going out with a gorgeous Andover guy called Pete :-)
I graduated from university with an English degree and I have recently started a Masters in Psychology with the Open University.
I am the lead singer in a jazz funk soul band, JFS Collective, and we have our own website, www.myspace.com/jfscollective which you should all check out!
When I'm not doing my band stuff I love to go to open mic and jam nights, always good fun and the people are lovely. I have also started learning to play the guitar too!
When I'm not working hard on my music or doing my Masters I also work full time too at HSA!
My best job to date HAS to be working at the mighty Jazz Cafe in London, my favourite venue to dance and get v sweaty in!
It's a very intimate enviroment and I have spent many a happy night there getting my groove on and getting extremely squashed!
I was v lucky to meet some very cool bands and hear their sound checks when I worked there, happy days, but it don't pay the bills!
C'est la vie...
