About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Guitar

For session/studio work, please get in touch via MySpace.Been actively performing for the past 8 years. I have been singing and writing for over 10 years and have been in 3 bands. My music career has involved performances at various clubs (including Jazz Café, Ocean Arena, Clapham Grand,) and holding my own events. Previously worked with Maria Lawson (X Factor finalist); currently working with Xan Blacq (Amy Winehouse), Randolph Matthews (Don Blackman, Michelle Escoffrey), as well as TheBridge band and CK Gospel Choir (see top friends). 3-Octave vocal range, although mostly placed as contralto; ability to learn very quickly and blend in effortlessly, which is ideal when working with choirs and in other artists' recording or live sessions.Mostly involved with Soul, House, Garage, Hip-hop music styles; ability to adapt to a range of other genres. In-demand featured vocalist for a variety of artists, as well as for private functions.Spending time honing my craft, songwriting, sharing my wonderful blessings, & networking... with you perhaps?!
