Singer & Writer sharing the Magic of Voice

As a singer and writer, I’m powered by the understanding that our voices can change our worlds - individually and collectively. 
Growing up in a musical family, with lots of singing around the piano, embedded my love of music, and writing words and songs came naturally. I realised at the age of 15 that singing was profoundly transformative and that I wanted to sing and help people sing.  My grandmother was deaf, and my grandfather, the hearing child of deaf parents, wrote a book advocating for sign language and led signing choirs.

Endlessly fascinated by the diversity of human expression - sung, spoken, written and signed - I create spaces where people can experience the joy, magic and power of voice.  
To that end, I’ve released four albums, written for local and international media, and helped people find their voices at choirs and one to one sessions.

Taking a holistic approach, I see vocal expression as intricately interconnected with all areas of life.  
Having directed choir projects for over 20 years in settings including charities, hospitals, hospices and mental health groups, I daily see people walk into a room bent over and walk out standing tall and smiling.  I love seeing people grow in confidence whilst working towards creative goals - singing a solo, passing an audition or delivering a powerful presentation. I continue to develop my understanding of voice working within a multidisciplinary team at Lewisham Hospital Voice Clinic.

As a writer, I'm committed to broadcasting positive news about groundbreaking ideas and pioneers, to inspire a sense of hope and possibility.
Throughout my career, I have written event reviews, newsletters, marketing copy, press releases, song lyrics, poetry, interviews and hosted radio shows and podcasts. Having work in the NHS and community settings, I am dedicated to creating content which enhances individual and social wellbeing and champions the unsung heroes of unheard histories. I follow my fascinations on my Rambling Rose Blog and interview leading vocal artists on my Vocal Revolution Podcast.

because our voices can change our world…
