Hi! I'm a singer/songwriter based near London. I studied singing at Middlesex University, and got a BA Hons (Jazz) Music degree. I play piano (grade 8 standard), percussion, and occasionally use the guitar to write with (but I often find a pen works better!!) HA HA!
I was the vocalist and percussionist with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra for 5 years, where I gained loads of experience and skills, and toured the UK and Florida. Actually, I recently found myself singing again with the NYJO, in the very place Amy Winehouse started her career, (also with the NYJO). As Amy apparently described it, she began her career by "singing Jazz in the back of a pub to old people"!!
I'd say my songs are a musical blend of many styles, including Jazz, Soul, Country, Rock & Pop. They are often soul searching, deep and meaningful, with a spiritual content, whilst being quirky and catchy. I'm inspired by life experience (whether lived out or witnessed) and most of all, emotions. Many of my songs are so very close to the heart, and I would love to be able to positively inspire others in the way they live their lives.
I'm very lucky to be co-writing my album with a wonderful songwriter and producer, Gavin Beckwith (GB Sound) www.myspace.com/gavinbeckwith.
