About / Biography

Ophelia is a vocalist and trumpet player who's charismatic stage presence will make your event a night to remember! She has years of experience in a wide range of genres, and her versatility means that she is able to cater to any atmosphere, whether that be a smoky jazz bar, or a night of endless partying!

She is able to offer herself as a solo singer with backing tracks, or she can perform as part of a duo, a trio, a quartet, or even as part of bigger bands and brass bands, with interchangeable lineup's to suit your preference. Alongside this, she offers herself as a 'Ibiza style' trumpet player, performing alongside DJ's later in the night.

Ophelia has a wealth of experience gathered from spending years touring and performing at some of the UK's most iconic venues such as, 'Ronnie Scotts', 'Glastonbury Festival', 'the 100 Club','The 02 Institute in Birmingham', 'Vortex Jazz Club' and 'The Piece Hall' in Halifax. She has headlined at multiple racecourses and festivals with 'Ministry of Sound', and has supported various well known groups such as 'Scouting for Girls' and 'The Sugababes'. Alongside this she has performed at countless weddings and events, and is always very well received, whether she is playing background music or working the dancefloor.

Ophelia studied classical music for 10 years, and was then trained in Jazz at 'Leeds Conservatoire'. She has since gone on to have played with some of the UK's most sucessfull jazz musicians, such as 'Yolanda Brown', 'Nubya Garcia' and 'Ellie Sax', as well as playing and working with the 'National Youth Jazz Orchestra'.

Her jazz sets have been described as both timeless and effortlessly cool, and the performances she has delivered with her originals projects are said to have been 'exhilirating' and 'electrifying'. Her sets alongside Dj's have been said to have made many events 'a night to remember'.

I will tailor my look to perfectly match your event by offering the choice of three outfit options – from smart-casual, to formal, to the full glitz and glam! My outfits have been styled to create a sense of true elegance and class.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

I performed with a big band at Ronnie Scott's in London and it was such a special night! There was a fantastic atmosphere and energy in the room, and it felt as if the audience came on a journey with us. It is a memory I'm sure the band and audience will treasure for a long time.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

When it comes to classic jazz, I have been listening to Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong since I was young, and they have greatly inspired many of my performances throughout the my career. As my style has developed I have also been influenced by Raye, Olivia Dean and Ezra Collective. My favourite artist has to be Amy Winehouse, and I think that 'Back to Black' Is one of the most iconic albums and songs ever released.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I studied classical music for 10 years, and was then trained in Jazz at 'Leeds Conservatoire'. I have since gone on to have played with some of the UK's most successful Jazz musicians, such as 'Yolanda Brown', 'Nubya Garcia' and 'Ellie Sax', as well as playing and working with the 'National Youth Jazz Orchestra'.

What's your favourite type of event to play at?

Having performed at many different types of events I have to say that my favourites are weddings and anniversary parties. It's so lovely to watch families and friends coming together and celebrating love, and it's such a honour to be a part of people's memories on their special days.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually arrive two hours before I am due to start playing, however I am happy to arrive earlier if this will make clients feel more comfortable.
I generally perform 2 x 45 minute sets or 2 x 60 minute sets, but can add a third set, or make sets longer if required.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I love to perform outside, as long as there is a way of protecting the equipment if it rains, and as long as there is an easily accessible power supply.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I am happy to learn any specific songs the client would like, and they are welcome to choose their set lists from my repertoire playlists.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

My jazz sets have been described as both timeless and effortlessly cool, and the performances I have delivered with my originals projects are said to have been 'exhilarating' and 'electrifying'. My performances alongside Dj's have been said to have made many events 'a night to remember'.


Are the line-up's of your ensembles interchangeable?

Yes. If you are after something unique or want to adjust the size, I have flexible options tailored to your taste and budget.
