PERFORMER
I began dancing when I was just 3 years old. I was soon totally addicted and, 40 years later I am still dancing. Over the years I have performed in musicals, pantomimes, cabarets, old time music hall and even the odd play. My strongest dance performance styles are tap, commercial and musical theatre. I also have a basic understanding of most ballroom and Latin American dances.
I am a mezzo-soprano and my main style of singing is musical theatre although I have sung backing vocals for various bands (including a Pink Floyd tribute band).
I would love to have my own touring cabaret one day as a vocalist.
SINGER/SONGWRITER
Music has always been a huge part of my life, from stealing my dads 45's to listen to aged 5 to discovering new artists from my grown-up son's playlists! Songs invoke such memories for me, a single play can take me back in time and surround me in the emotions, sights and smells of a given moment. When my mum died in 2014, I didn't know how I would cope. I remember standing in the shower, sobbing, not wanting to move. Then, the opening lyrics of Angel of Mine appeared in my head. I'd never written lyrics before, as a dancer first and foremost the thought had never entered my mind. But once I started, I couldn't stop. It was cathartic and energizing and I loved it. I wrote about what I knew, emotions I had felt and it all went from there. I found an amazing musician (David Malinich) who always seemed to understand what my random babbling and sometimes nonsensical conversations meant (even before I did half the time) who made my songs come to life.
Anyway, thank you for listening and following my journey. Enjoy the music <3
