Headshots by Mark Griffiths and DavidThePhotographer
Since the age of 5 I have trained as an actor, musician and dancer, and have made many professional appearances during that time. Everything from TV presenting, modelling, & pantomime, to BBC5 radio series, West End runs, short films & audio books. I studied performing arts at LIPA for 3 years, and then film and television at TVi Studios in LA.
In the music industry I have been both a solo artist and lead vocalist, and my band Fate Sister, was nominated for “Best Unsigned” at the Kickers Urban Music Awards, was a finalist of BBC sponsored “UK unsigned” & gave me the chance to fly to St. Lucia to support Amy Winehouse, Patti LaBelle, Chaka Kahn, & George Duke at the “St. Lucia Jazz Festival”!
More recently, as well as my teaching, I have been working as a writer, singer/songwriter, an artist liaison, I’ve gigged all over the country with Rockaoke, and have been crewing and running stages, at UK music festivals such as Isle of Wight Shambala, Secret Garden Party and Glastonbury.
Qualifications & Experience
I have been teaching students of all age ranges and abilities for over 20 years, and have loved watching them flourish and grow into spectacular performers. My Distinction rate at examinations is extremely high, and many of my students have gone on to be at some of the country’s most prestigious drama schools, or are currently in the West End or on your TV screens.
