Public liability insurance of £5 million

I absolutely adore performing and after being professionally trained in Musical Theatre, I have sung as lead & ensemble in the West End, such as Polly (Crazy For You, London Palladium) and as Guest Lead Vocalist at Her Majesty's, London - 'Sunday Night Live'. I’ve loved singing at Disneyland Paris, such as 'Christine' (Phantom Live at Alexandra Palace), & at many events, weddings and gigs from inside someone’s home for 20 people to the NEC Birmingham for 10,000 people. My aim is to create a bespoke, perfect soundtrack to any event. I’m lucky to be vocally very versatile, so I can create a relaxed, elegant atmosphere with chillout/lounge vocals or if you want something more upbeat, I love belting out Pop and Classic Dancefloor Fillers such as ‘R-E-S-P-E-C-T’ or ‘Walkin on Sunshine’ to get everyone dancing. I am sensitive and adaptable to the atmosphere of the event and its guests, and can tailor my voice and soundtrack to your tastes and needs. Themes can include Musical Theatre, Pop, Vintage, Jazz, your favourite animated Princesses and more! I’ve also been known to step in and help with wedding planning tips for the nervous or overwhelmed bride! I love helping wherever I can!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Mostly how adaptable & easy-going I am before and during the event. I’m told(!) they like my sunny personality, my can-do attitude, and how accommodating I can be to last minute changes. Performance-wise, my professionalism, my sweet vibrato on the romantic sets and the power and fun in my up-beat sets. I also won Hitched 2023 Best Wedding Music Winner.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Disneyland Paris NEC Birmingham MGM Arena Las Vegas London Palladium Alexandra Palace RSC Dell Theatre Her Majesty’s, London

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Wow - so many! I was brought up on a strange mix of Disco, Motown and cheesey 80s! But I’ve trained in musical theatre (classical and contemporary). I love Ed Sheeran & Adele for their emotion & musicality, Rodgers & Hammerstein and Cole Porter for the stories their songs tell, and Clean Bandit, Little Mix & the Donna Summer to let loose on the dance floor!

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

I played the lead ‘Polly Baker’ in Crazy for You at the London Palladium.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Just contact me! I’ll do everything I can to accommodate! 😊

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. I’ll even happily create a list that complements the singing or consult teach by teach what you’d like if you want to! If you want our disco lights it’s £50 per 4-bar set (2 available) and that really get the atmosphere going!

How much time do you need to set up?

20 mins usually, or 30 mins with lights

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Absolutely. I’ll even learn new ones for you if there’s enough time before the booking and they’re not on my set list!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes! I just need one mains plug socket!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes (please give a weeks’ notice or an additional charge may be made, or I may be unable to oblige).
