“I first discovered opera at University after my choral scholarship introduced me to classical singing, following on form years of dance and musical theatre training as a child. I still enjoy ensemble music-making, and regularly record with the BBC Daily Service Singers for Radio 4.
I grew up in rural Buckinghamshire with two siblings, three casts and a cockapoo (as well as several rodents and a few fish along the way), but now I live in Manchester. Whilst I’d love a cat up there, I’m holding off for now given my track record with houseplants.”
