About / Biography

“A formidable vocal presence” CLASH MUSIC

SJ is not your classic singer songwriter. Once you’ve heard SJ sing, you’ll understand why she’s been given the nickname ‘POWERHOUSE Stevie Ray Nicks’! SJ recorded her solo album in Nashville and has toured extensively across the UK, Europe, America and even Shanghai honing her craft.

​​Currently fronting the award-winning Americana Rock Indie band Morganway who are tipped for great things. “One of the best and most exciting prospects to emerge in a long time” (Maverick Magazine). SJ has been described as a “modern Nicks”, likened to “Joplin”, and a “female fronted Zeppelin”(Get Ready To Rock). Morganway have released three studio albums, supported artists such as Skunk Anansie and Belle & Sebastien. Their latest album ‘Kill The Silence’ reached #4 Independent Album Breakers Chart, #9 Americana Chart, #15 Independent Album Chart.

SJ has plenty of experience playing at function events and Weddings, accompanying herself on guitar and piano. She plays classic hits through the years, from 50s to modern day. She has played at prestigious venues such as Hard Rock Cafe, Ronnie Scott's, The Savoy and Grosvenor Hotel in London, as well as abroad in Europe in Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Germany & Portugal, and in Nashville, TN as well as Shanghai, China.

"She's certainly a country talent to look out for" (MAVERICK MAGAZINE)

"Catchy tunes, awesome vocals. One to watch" (GUITARIST MAGAZINE)

'A fantastic emerging act from Cambridgeshire putting her own spin on country sounds" (BBC INTRODUCING CAMBS)
