Highlights

  • I had a makeover on This Morning with Phil and Fern back when I was living on New Addington housing estate and was a new mum wearing baggy pants and hoodies. Charles Worthington cut my hair into a cool rock chick style to go with my new music career. And they put me in high heels instead of trainers.

    After that I was on South Today promoting an event for musicians in Brighton. And I've also been on the House of Tiny Tearways with my family, as my son had sleep problems.
  • Photo shoots for the 1920s show. Also had collections in fashion shows eg at Concorde 2 in Brighton and trained models in walking and posing!
  • I was Momma McKenzie in Black Spot a 3D Horror short filmed on location in the Sussex countryside in the rain and I'm currently the lead actress in the trailer for a film about a prominent and notorious public figure in journalism.

    I also work as a children's entertainer for Whizz Bang pop, doing balloon modelling, party games, face painting, puppet shows and magic.

    I was starring in Clara Bow The Seduction show and silent film, which was in production until 2014 but is now on hold while we consider funding development options. Its a fun and frolics tale loosely based on Clara Bow's love life and scandals in 1920s Hollywood.

    I had a starring role in Team Spirit, a musical about a women's football team, I scored the winning goal and was the team managers love interest and also helped direct the singers. I was also in The Crucible as Mary Proctor at a production at the Brunswick Theatre.
  • I was Features Editor for Sounding Board magazine, which promotes community music. I am interested in writing for music magazines.

    I'm also very interested in fashion and have been asked to art direct photos for a new online magazine aimed at a foreign market.
  • I'm currently singer cover songs with a blues and rock covers band Jacks Jammers and also working with keybaord player Frazer Stafford. I'm singing covers and originals with him in a boogie woogie style plus jazz, blues and pop with songs from all eras. I have plans to get my own rock band together and I also teach singring at the Happy Singing Group on meetup.com.

    I've wriiten my own jazz and blues songs inspired by 1920s and 1930s singers such as Cleo Brown and Bessie Smith as well as working on ideas for a rock album and a new band. Then I got heavily into production of the Seduction Show so music took a back seat for a while but I now have got back into it.

    I was lead singer for the rock and reggae band Dirty Neon Blue from 2010 to 2102 until we broke up, and before that had a punk band Aloe, played keyboard and was lead singer for The Junk Funk Band and led a jamming collective called Red Addiction.
