About Duchess

As a distinctive and professional singer with a soulful tone I have played 50+ gigs varying headlining shows to private functions worldwide

Singer (soprano)

London

Public liability insurance of £1 million

I want to share with others the joy that exists in me when I sing. Having a distinctive voice I love to take my audience and clients on a journey through familiar songs with current energy. I have an excellent vocal coach who challenges me and has highlighted my incredible musical range and beauty. My highlights have to be opening for ‘cultura profetica’ a Puerto Rican reggae band, incredible synergy with the audience although a large crowd of 1500 intimate at the same time. I also enjoyed singing as one of the ‘wailers’ with Congo Natty/Rebel Mc. Again a large crowd at SW4 amazing energy and respect for the craft of music. Professional musicianship and a lovely bond with myself and the band. I very much enjoy the hosting aspect of performing too as much as singing. Engaging with those who are celebrating or holding space for a special day. Meeting new people and encouraging others to have a good time and let lose is something I do well and I thoroughly enjoy.
