Leeds Classical Baritone is an Indian-Scottish Baritone. He started musical life as a pianist, punk-rocker and conductor, graduating from Leeds College of Music, the Royal Northern College of Music and the National Opera Studio, before falling in love with all-things-voice to tell stories. A former Britten- Pears, Samling, Momentum and Concordia artist, he is the first opera singer to be booked by the Glastonbury Festival in the Astrolabe Tent (“I cannot believe how powerful his voice is. I have never seen opera like he does it” - Haggis McLeod, head-programmer) and the first to beatbox in an opera at Longborough Festival Opera.
Highlights in recent seasons include his American debut as Father Thumbprint for Portland Opera; Prince Yamadori Madama Butterfly and The Shoemaker (world premiere) for Welsh National Opera; Alice Through the Looking Glass (world premiere) for the London Symphony Orchestra; Jean Arp Sophie (world premiere) for Tête à Tête; a recital with Roderick Williams for Thaxted Festival and recitals about Schumann, Sondheim and Parfum for Oxford International Song Festival.

A private place to get ready.
If your venue has a real piano please check it has been tuned.
If there is no piano, then a high-quality digital grand piano can be brought along.
Food to be provided if performing at an evening event.
Yes, I usually sing with no amplification and can bring a pianist and piano if needed.
Normally I just need to know if the venue has a piano. That's it!
No, I don't usually do that.
Recently I performed for Portland Opera, Oregon in the USA. Other highlights include being the first opera singer to be booked by the Glastonbury Festival!
I am influenced by everything but my classical singers are Pavarotti (of course!) and Cesare Siepi. My favourite song would probably have to be Deep River. It's depth and power is incredible.
I started my musical journey as a frontman in the pop-punk band Oversight before going on to study piano and conducting at Leeds Conservatoire. I then specialised in voice at The Royal Northern College of Music and is proud to be a Britten-Pears and Samling artist.
Now, my love of modern and innovative vocal music have led to over 15 world premieres and performances including my own show at the Glastonbury Festival, Perfume Concerts at the Oxford International Song Festival and beatboxing at Longborough Festival Opera!
I love singing at all events but bringing something meaningful to a person/couple is where I really feel satisfied making music.
Set up: 30 minutes
Yes!
Absolutely! It is a two way process with me always!
Previous customers would describe me as being powerful, charismatic and playful.
