Frances is an exquisite pianist and an incredibly gifted repetiteur and accompanist, and I feel so lucky to have worked with her so many times. From our very first collaboration in September 2024, I was struck by her speed, her enthusiasm, and her wonderfully calm presence. As a singer, I feel completely supported by her — she instinctively understands phrasing, breath, and the musical conversations that need to happen in order to truly work as a team. What makes Frances so special to me is that she is not just an accompanist, but a true creative partner. We have written songs together and are now a songwriting duo, which has honestly been a dream come true for me. Creating with her feels natural, inspiring, and deeply musical. Her musicality is sublime — exquisite, intimate, and regal all at once. She has her own sound, her own sense of rhythm, and a rare ability to make the music feel completely alive and personal. Frances doesn’t just play the music; she makes it her own. I recommend her wholeheartedly to any singer or musician looking for a sensitive, inspiring, and exceptional collaborator.

She is steadfast, accurate and patient in her approach, she will embellish with flair and sensitivity. Frances is one of the most outstanding yet pleasant and engaging musicians with whom I have ever had the pleasure to work
