ABOUT

I'm a 25 year old singer/songwriter hailing from Sydney Australia (although born in Scotland!). I studied at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) for 4 years from 2014- 2018 over in Perth and graduated with a Bachelor of Music with First Class Honours. During and since graduating, I have played the Perth, Sydney and London music circuits either signing backing vocals, as a lead vocalist in cover bands or performing my own original music.
I have had the opportunity to perform on the Channel 7 televised charity event 'Telethon' in 2016, perform in a cover band that supported James Taylor at Leewuin Estate in 2017, and had the privilege to sing backing vocals for Guy Sebastian, Christine And, Melonie Daniels-Walker (Mariah Carey's backing vocalist), rappers Drapht and COIN BANKS.
I have been playing classical piano from a young age and accompany myself either on keys or ukulele at all solo gigs, performing a wide variety of genres including pop, r&b, jazz, and folk.
