Singer:
I started my training chorally whilst at church. This was followed by 2 years of private classical voice training and one year choral training at an outreach programme with The English National Opera.
I have been very lucky to have gained most of my experience within a live performance platform and am very much a live performer who enjoys engaging with the crowd.
Additional skills:
I am adept at either joint team performances or solo live performances and work well with choreography.
