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 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.
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.
