About me
My passion from childhood has always been performing arts: singing, dancing and acting. I started singing as a child in a London based professional classical African choir. Since then my journey has taken me around the world, performing at private and corporate functions, intimate settings, theatres, festivals on TV and radio, as a soloist, band lead singer, session/backing vocalist, chorale member, music theatre actress for opera, writing and teaching. I perform a wide range of repertoire including various genres from the 50's to current pop, jazz, rock, soul, swing, blues and lots more. I love learning and sharing experiences through music, also performing in multi-tribute shows of my favourite female and male artists. Highlights as a backing vocalist include, recording with artists such as Madonna, Jamie Cullum and Sam Smith. Also performing live with Jessie J, Alfie Boe, Nile Rodgers, Pharrell Williams, Kylie Minogue, Dionne Warwick, Mica Paris, plus many other talented artists. Some of my favourite events have included performing at the 80th Birthday celebration of Queen Elizabeth in London, for other worldwide Dignitaries and in my local communities.Additional skills:
I trained as a professional practitioner in youth arts and project development, also as a further education teacher and assessor. This has led to facilitation of workshops in performing arts and life skills for various types of groups. This can range from community groups, choirs or as part of corporate team-building initiatives​.
