About Me

I am an extremely industrious, ambitious individual with a great many skills and talents that are far outweighed by my passion and enthusiasm. Apart from all of these incredible opportunities that I've taken in acting/singing/dancing/modelling, I do also have a Psychology and a Law degree. :)

Employment History & Experience

Musically, I have Grade 7, 5, and 3 in Piano, Singing and Violin from ABRSM...

Vocally I'm pitch perfect, so no need for auto-tune! LoL Was in 3 choirs (Gospel/Chapel/Chamber) in school... Have some musical theater experience.

No professional experience save a few paid gigs in night clubs, won't say I'm the next Whitney Houston, but can sing a variety of genres, change my tone and am easy to work with, can sight-read etc.

Currently in a girl band with a resident gig venue at The Dog Star in Brixton as well as in a new girl group with our first single just recorded (though not released)!
