Biography
With elegant, intricate twists on both contemporary and classic songs, I craft music that intrigues, excites, and enhances a luxurious, relaxing atmosphere. My smoky vocal tone and sophisticated yet edgy performance style make every event unforgettable. Specializing in pop, jazz, rock, lounge, soundtrack, and folk, I create poignant arrangements of iconic tracks spanning five decades, adding a unique sparkle to any occasion.
Born and raised in London, I began studying piano at the age of five and later honed my craft at the prestigious BRIT School, earning a First-Class Honours Degree in Contemporary Music Performance in 2012. With over a decade of experience performing at diverse venues, I am a confident and versatile artist.
Alongside events, I perform, sing, and arrange original material with several bands, which has taken me on three UK and two international tours. My work includes live sessions on BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, and XFM, as well as recording two singles at the iconic Abbey Road Studios.
