ABOUT

Versatile vocalist based in Townsville with a passion for live performance. My vocal strengths lean into powerful Alternative Rock (like The Cranberries and Alanis Morissette), combined with the storytelling of Country and the energy of 90s Pop.
?Currently half of the duo Speakerbox,
but always looking to collaborate with musicians who appreciate a mix of soulful classics and high energy hits. Whether it’s an acoustic set or a full-band vibe, I’m all about connecting with the audience.

I am looking for fellow musicians and local collaborators who want to create great music. Whether you need a lead vocalist with a strong range (specializing in The Cranberries and Alanis Morissette style) for a project, or you're a venue looking for a reliable act, I’d love to chat. Open to jamming, recording, or regular gigging."

?Classic & Raspier Vocals: Bonnie Tyler and Rod Stewart.

?I love blending these genres from the 90s alternative scene to soulful country to create a dynamic and engaging performance."
