About / Biography

As an experienced female singer working with quality backing tracks I specialise in favourite tunes from 40s - 70s. I am equally at home with songs from the shows, rock n' roll classics or jazz standards!

Originally from Austria but based in the UK. I have always been singing and taking voice lessons, starting with church choirs. Up to Covid, I have sung in pub bands. For the last few years I have also been entertaining and performing in care homes and retirement villages, singing for - and with! - the elderly and their visiting relatives, specialising in Golden Oldies. I also perform at events like village fetes, summer fayres or as a singing telegram. Why not consider me for your private celebration, corporate event or singing telegram?

My "super power" is to intuitively "tune into" an audience and making everyone feel at ease as well as having a good time!

Furthermore I have an affinity with languages and am happy to sing songs in any foreign language provided enough notice is given. Personally I speak fluent English and German and basic French.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The best gig: A social daytime gathering in a nearby town with an audience of various cognitive abilities. Quite a few were dancing, singing along and so visibly enjoying themselves. Everybody was do-o-ing the loco-motion....It was such fun.
The best venue: An old, historic Manor House with extensive. sweeping gardens and live stock including ponies and alpacas.


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

I have certainly been influenced by Michael Jackson for his raw talent, George Michael for his all round musicality and Whitney Houston for her incredible female vocals. All of them are absolute Greats.
Regarding those who are still amongst us - I LOVE Lara Fabian. She is one of the lesser known icons. She really lives her songs, brings them to life and has out-of-this-world vocal control and range. Susan Boyle is another one who springs to mind. I hugely admire her for her tenacity and faith. She inspired me to start gigging.


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

I was a late starter! After the usual school and church choirs I had a long gap albeit always working on my voice! I eventually started gigging at a mature age with pub bands by simply responding to ads! Thereafter I decided to go solo and focus on different music - the type of songs I sing today....40s - 70s.


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

No favourite type. Any event where people appreciate the music and entertainment provided.


Can you make announcements as well?

Yes ! I am very happy to provide ancillary services! Due to the more intimate nature of my performances it is not uncommon for me to be asked to make announcements or help hosting any activities or games in between sets. I am happy to discuss your requirements at the time of booking.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I normally arrive 45 mins before a performance to set up. Performing a set of 60 mins or 2 x sets of 30 or 45 mins suit my audience best.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes - but I ask for a flat, level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.


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

It is a set repertoire list. I am happy to receive client song requests before the performance provided enough notice is given.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

"You have really cheered us up." "We loved your performance." "You have given us a lot of joy." "That was fantastic!" "You are the best [entertainer] we have had so far!"
