Singer
I’ve been singing weekly since I was 13 years old. In that time I’ve sung for recordings at Angel Studios, been brought in to boost sections for the BBC Proms and Huddersfield Choral Society, and sung solo on Radio 4’s Sunday Worship and Sunday Service.
Singing is my lifeblood: I love to sing in choirs and to teach it to others. If you are interested in hiring me, please click ‘get in touch’ at the bottom of the screen.
