I am a Graduate of The University of West London with a Masters in Music and awarded Fellow of the London College of Music in Classical Singing. I have frequently performed internationally as soloist for various Choral societies and choirs.

I aim to enhance your vocal skills and performance techniques regardless of whether you are experienced or a complete beginner. My lessons are designed to boast your confidence and musicality. Lets embark on this musical journey together in safe but fun way!
