About Me

I'm, well...me!! Doing my thing, trying to get the best outta life. I tend to get very enthusiastic about things, then wear myself out and fall asleep! I like to become excited about things other people may overlook. I like to have a laugh, have a boogie, have a big ponder sometimes and reflect on life...then go shopping!Although I have a day job, I also sing at weddings and for other special occasions - so if you are interested in hiring me just send me a message! I can sing in a variety of styles including classical pieces, jazzy numbers and ballads.Hong Kong pics!More Hong Kong pics!And finally...
Which City and State do You Really Belong In?
New York City, New York
You belong in the city that never sleeps. There is no other city like New York City, there are tons of places to shop, eat and have fun. But be careful and don't get carried away with the night life, you got to work hard to play hard.

My Interests

Singing, reading, having coffee with friends, listening to music. Highly recommended stuff I've seen on stage: One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest, Guys and Dolls, The Producers. Went to The Globe to see Coriolanus which was fab! Muse were, of course, great live. I LOVE NEW YORK! When I was there, I really enjoyed seeing Phantom of the opera on Broadway, went to Birdland (jazz club) which was wicked, just enjoyed kinda walking around and taking it all in. There is such a good atmosphere. I also loved Hong Kong! (see pics on the right). I'm still loyal to London too - walking along the Thames, visiting Borough Market, riding on the London Eye, eating in a nice restaurant and taking a tipsy tube journey home after a few glasses of wine.

Music:

Blondie, Muse, Aretha Franklin, Air, Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, various indie stuff, The Beetles, Blur, The Prodigy, Some dance music (especially early 90s stuff), a bit of Motown and a bit of soul, James Brown, Jeff Buckley, The Kinks, David Bowie, Moby, Basement Jaxx, female singers with powerful (though not whiny) voices, a bit of funk....

Movies:

Sean of the Dead, Singing in the rain, Cassablanca, Amelie, Girl with a pearl earring, Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Truman Show, Back to the Future trilogy, Memoirs of a Geisha, Walk the Line, The Mask - anything slightly off-beam. Films with Ewan McGreggor in (shamelessly unfussy about what they are - even better if he sings). Just saw School of Rock this evening - it was v funny!

Television:

Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Extras - I cant be bothered to sit on my ass for too long to watch TV. I find Phillip Schofield quite entertaining - never mind...

Books:

Where do I start? Pride & Prejudice (Austen), Beloved (Toni Morrison), Dead Famous (Ben Elton), On Beauty (Zadie Smith), Rebecca (Daphne Du Maurier), Man & Boy (Tony Parsons), Captain Correlli's Mandolin (Louis du Bernier), To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee), Memoirs of a Geisha (Arthur Goldern), Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte), The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe (CS Lewis)

Heroes:

Debby Harry - she had (and still has) the attitude, the talent and the style, and I find her inspiring.
