“I originally started my undergraduate in Musical Theatre, which I still have a love for today, but I found my voice suited to the operatic style more. I am very interested in the music of Verdi and Puccini but my other musical passion is Heavy Metal, I was once lucky enough to sing with Gene Simmons from the band Kiss. If I were to describe myself as an artist in three words, it would be passionate, motivated and empathetic.

I was born in Norwich but have lived all across the country now residing in Cricklade, Wiltshire. Outside of opera I spend a lot of time with my family, especially my niece and nephew from watching them play sports to going on long adventures.”
