Meet the Act

I’m a Manchester-born singer with Jamaican roots, raised on gospel music. I first discovered my love of singing in church at the age of 12. By 16, I was recording for Manchester bands and I’ve never looked back.
Whether I’m singing an uplifting house anthem or leading a 100-voice choir, my heart is always to connect, inspire, and move people through music. I’m also a creative wellbeing coach, entrepreneur, and chaplain. I believe music is medicine, and every voice matters.
Fun fact: My voice has been sampled, remixed, and played in clubs worldwide — but my favourite performance ... s are always the ones where I get to tell a story and leave the audience feeling empowered. Read More
