Frequently Asked Questions

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

My favourite venue is the Royal Albert Hall, where I’ve been lucky enough to sing professionally a few times. It’s such an iconic venue, and it gives me goosebumps every time I walk out onto that famous stage.
My favourite gig was singing for a wedding at Kew Gardens, it was such a lovely atmosphere and a stunning setting.


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

My favourite classical singers are sopranos Dawn Upshaw and Barbara Bonney - Dawn has such a versatile voice and is equally at home with jazz and musical theatre as she is with classical music. Barbara has such a pure voice and I love the 20th Century American classical music that she specialises in, though she sings Mozart beautifully too.
My favourite current jazz singer is Emma Smith of the Puppini Sisters, and I am a huge fan of Barbra Streisand. I can't choose one song, there are too many I love!


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

I always wanted to be a singer, ever since the age of 12 when I joined the school choir. I studied classical music and went on to enjoy a music career that has taken me to some of the world's most iconic venues.


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

Wedding ceremonies are my favourite type of event because they are so joyous and a privilege to be a part of.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

45 minutes set up time
Performance times flexible when arranged in advanced


Are you happy to perform outside?

Happy to play outside but I ask for shade, 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?

My bookings all include a music consultation on zoom to discuss repertoire for your event. Ie can learn specific songs before the event but I usually limit this to 5 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from my repertoire or let me choose the music for them.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Clients always let me know that my singing really helped to create a lovely atmosphere and that many of their guests commented on it. I am also frequently praised for my professionalism and friendliness.


Do you sing at Jewish Chuppah ceremonies?

Yes, I am a Jewish Cantorial Singer with several years' experience singing for Reform and Progressive Jewish chuppah ceremonies, and able to sing the Sheva Brachot and other muscial elements of the chuppah.
