Tammy Wilde

Hi! Allow me to introduce myself...my name is Tammy Wilde and I am a North West (UK) based Professional Singer. I am 23 years old and originally from North Wales, however I moved to Manchester shortly after leaving college to continue my musical journey! Here, I attended BIMM Manchester (Institution of British and Irish Modern Music) for three years studying Professional Musicianship in Vocal Performance and have recently graduated, attaining a Second Class Honours (2:1). However, my love and passion for music didn't begin there. I have always had an extensive relationship with Music. As every musicians mother would say..."she could sing before she could talk!". Which in some ways is true...I've been singing for as long as I can remember. I spent the majority of my childhood dreaming of being on a stage and entertaining people, little did I know after much hard work and determination it would become a reality for me! I began my studies at Llanfyllin High School in 2012, and this school was all about the arts which was perfect for me! Here, I studied mainly the Performing Arts and Theatre and finished my GCSE with an A*. I also joined The Lonely Tree Youth Theatre during this time which really enhanced my confidence when performing, especially when given singing roles. I was able to transfer this confidence over to my music. It was towards the end of my time at school that I began doing unpaid charity singing gigs for Charman Promotions, who I still work closely with to this day. Whilst at Llanfyllin High School, I had an amazing singing teacher who was always so supportive of myself and my musical journey and without her I wouldn't be where I am today. Under her coaching I underwent two singing exams with The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music; both my Grade 4 and Grade 5 and attained a Merit in both. I spent 3 years as part of my high school choir as a mezzo soprano, which helped me extend my vocal range enoromously. After High School I attended Shrewsbury Sixth Form to continue with my musical and theatrical studies. It was during my time here I began learning to play guitar to accompany myself when performing, which over the years has become a staple part of all my performances and gigs. (I think the Ed Sheeran Fangirl in me had a lot to do with this lol). I had another fantastic singing teacher whilst studying here, who again heavily influenced my career in music and under her teaching I underwent my Grade 8 in Musical Theatre with the London College of Music Examinations and again received a Merit. After college I took a year out to work, perform and prepare for my adventure at BIMM University. It was when I started Univeristy that I began taking on paid work where my music was concerned. It was here I gained most of my knowledge and experience in the performance and gigging field. I have had experience performing in many different venues and situations such as pubs, bars, charity events and festivals in which I acoustically cover a range of genres and artists. For all of the performances I have done and continue to do in the future, I will always ensure that the covers I choose or offer to the client depending on the event are completely suitable to each occasion. My favourite artists to cover are Ed Sheeran (obviously), Harry Styles, The Beatles and Dolly Parton. I am also in an Alt-Rock band and we perform frequently. This is a great indicator that I am able to perform in any situation and adapt my vocals to suit any genre. As a side note, I am a singer/songwriter with lots of original material however this WOULD NOT be performed for any gig that isn't mine personally. However, it can be discussed if you would like a song written and performed tailored to your event.
