I am happy to play music from Spotify before a wedding service if required and will liaise with the customer as to their song choices/playlist
I performed in front of Her Majesty the Queen on Songs of Praise
I love Maria Callas, Kiri Takanawa and Elena Garcia - these artists have influenced my classical singing but my favourite singer is Julie Andrews! I love to sing in her style and absolutely love all the Rodgers and Hammerstein classics!
I trained at English National Opera and National Opera Studio and have performed all over the world!
I love performing at all events whether its a concert, stadium, recording, wedding or care home!
Set up approx 10/20 minutes
Performance time up to an hour at a time or two sets of 30 minutes with a break
I can perform outside if requested but may need to be undercover if the weather is too hot or a chance of showers. PA systems are not waterproof so weather would be a consideration but I have performed outside on many occasions. There would need to be access to a power supply
I am happy to discuss songs with the client and send a full list of repertoire for them to choose their favourites - I will then collate that into a lovely set list.
Previous customers would describe my performances as really special and making their event day truly outstanding
