ABOUT
I am a professional jazz singer and have recently moved to the Essex area. Although I tour regularly with the Spanish National Jazz Orchestra (ONJAZZ, and its offspring, the ONJAZZ Band) in Spain, I am looking for a regular gig in the area. I am also starting to write my own material - an exciting blend of jazz, blues, Latin, rock'n'roll, swing... and am looking for a songwriting companion.
