Description
I am a professional jazz singer offering high-quality live vocal performances tailored for cruise ships, luxury events and premium entertainment settings. Inspired by the timeless sound of Ella Fitzgerald, my performances blend classic jazz elegance with a modern, engaging energy that appeals to a wide range of audiences.
My repertoire includes jazz standards, swing, soul, blues and jazz-influenced pop, allowing me to adapt seamlessly to different venues and guest demographics. I am experienced in delivering relaxed lounge sets, upbeat evening performances and feature-style shows, either as a
... solo vocalist with backing tracks or in collaboration with live musicians.
I trained at BIMM, graduating with a First Class degree in Songwriting, and have built a strong professional performance career. My experience includes regular private events such as weddings, corporate functions and celebrations booked through Encore, opening for artists including Lee Mead, performing at respected venues such as Night & Day Café, and holding a recurring residency at the former Sonata Cabaret Lounge.
I am a confident, reliable and personable performer who understands the importance of presentation, audience connection and consistency in professional entertainment environments. Music is not just what I do, it is how I communicate, creating warm, memorable experiences for audiences across all age groups.

Experience
As a jazz singer with a songwriting degree from BIMM Manchester and a Performing Arts BTEC from The Brit School, I've performed at venues across London and Manchester, including Matt & Phreds, Night and Day Café, and Sonata. I've had the honor of opening for Lee Mead and am skilled in jazz standards as well as jazzifying popular songs. My voice, often likened to Ella Fitzgerald’s, allows me to connect deeply with audiences or provide the perfect background music.
