Biography

I have been a singer from a very young age. I first sang on stage at 5 years old. After that, I didn't really want to do anything else. I joined the entertainment industry right out of school, at 18, and have worked my way through a varied and challenging career. My professional credits include: Funstar and Show Dancer at Haven Holidays; Family Entertainer, Cabaret Artists and Show Performer at Thomson Family Holidays; Entertainment Host and Cabaret Artist at Thomson Gold.
After a few years I decided to hoan my talent and improve my technique and studied Musical Theatre at KSA Drama School, ... where I performed in two professional productions and a cabaret. After graduation I worked with Partytime Prodcutions and The Panto Company.
I now write and perform my own shows for care homes and cabaret and continue with my professional acting. Last year I toured with Shooting Stars as Robin Hood in their panto of the same name.
My passion is entertainment and bringing a high-class performance to everyone. I am adaptable and can tailor my performance to fit your needs. If you want a bold, bright, interactive show I can oblige, or I can provide simple ambient vocals whilst people mingle. Please feel free to have a listen to my vocal samples, and you can also find me on SPOTLIGHT. Read More
