Hi! I'm an Essex based 5 Star rated (on two other booking platforms) experienced and versatile singer working across multiple genres including Pop, Soul, Jazz, Funk, Vintage, Reggae and more. I have a repertoire of over 500 songs and growing with hits from the 40's to the noughties and beyond.
I've worked in venues large and small, corporate and private, for councils on High Street Promotions, for clubs and individuals celebrating milestone events, in intimate restaurants or large pubs, in Sheltered Housing complexes, Golf and Yacht Clubs, outdoors at Festivals and garden Parties...you name it! For weddings I've sung at the ceremony, provided Jazzy/Acoustic style feelgood music during drinks receptions, and partied hard with the guests at the end of the night. You tell me what you need!
I will use my years of experience to work with you making the entertainment for your event a real success. I will provide a free 15-minute initial telephone consultation to help you decide what would be best for your event. Where mixed age audiences are likely musically I can provide something for everyone. If you have a preference for a particular genre (pop or Jazz etc..) or decade (70's 80's, 90's etc...) I have the songs for you!
I have continuity music between my live sets and can accommodate music before and after the live sets so you don't need to book a separate DJ. I have a quality Bose PA system that is both neat, but powerful. (taking up very little space, but its tall!) . I can also offer 'Plug in and Play' option if you have an in-house PA system in a restaurants etc.
I love to 'Read the Room' to see what people are responding to, and I'm flexible enough to change my approach depending on the crowd's reaction.
Clients seem to like working with me too! I have many who book me year in year out (one for over 10 years!) and others who book me regularly throughout the year. Will you be one of those people? I'd love to think so!
Based in Chelmsford, Essex

Yes I can provide continuity music during breaks
For music before and after my performance, depending on the duration this may need to be added to my quote
I've been singing since I was 17 so just one 'best' gig is impossible to choose! Ones with friends or family in attendance to make a show special, also one where I really got to know some wedding clients was special performing the song I'd learnt specially for them.
I grew up listening to Sarah Vaughan for Jazz, Carol King for songwriting, and Diana Ross for Soul. Other personal favourites (Most now in my repertoire) include Chaka Khan, Olivia Dean, Joni Mitchell, Alison Moyet, George Benson, Michael Jackson, Michael McDonald, Marvin Gaye...Raye I'm working on! I could not possibly choose just one song as the greatest of all time...I like far too much music for that!
I've been singing since 17, bands straight out of school, original signwriting with various people, working with other musicians like Sax Player Ian Thompson (on this site) Dave Mascall (Guitar). Ian Shaw (British Jazz Musician of the year winner) has previously mentored me after I was his pupil at a Jazz summer school, and I ended up in a band with most of my Jazz tutors! Many bands/guest spots.duos/trios later I started going solo as my taste in music was so wide and I wanted to be free to cover as much as possible. At time of writing I have over 50, *FIVE STAR* reviews on 2 other booking platforms and with other agents so I'm proud of my track record.
I'm happy to play anywhere where the audience appreciates a great live vocal, and good choice of songs, I'm like a DJ when I 'read the room', and getting that right and seeing people respond is a total vibe!
I'd normally arrive between 20-45 minutes before a show as my equipment is minimal and takes very little time to set up.
I usually sing 45 to 60 min sets - take a break with continuity music playing before continuing, but will discuss this with the client - and on the day will be flexible to work around buffets coming out late or celebration cakes coming out early!
Yes I can play outdoors with sufficient shade on sunny days, easy access to power supply and a flat surface ideally with a mat or flooring. Protection from strong winds is also required to prevent equipment and stands blowing over.
I have a huge repertoire and fully expect my clients will want a say in what kind of music I provide, if not I have tried and trusted 'ready to go' set lists and can 'read the room' - either way its all covered. What I can't do is provide bespoke songs outside my repertoire to order on the night with out sufficient preparation. I'm happy to discuss this aspect, but they may also be a charge for time taken to learn new material and purchase quality backing tracks.
My many 5 star reviews say I was Perfect for their event, brilliant at covering a wide range of songs for everyone to enjoy, was professional , inclusive and great value for money - with great communication beforehand, giving clients exactly what they wanted or needed: either classy chilled vibes or full on party mode.
