I am a 32year old Vocalist, Cellist and music tutor. I have excellent vocal and dance skills, great stage presence, life experience and enthusiasm. I am bubbly, reliable and 100% committed to my music career. My experience includes work as a freelance Cellist and Vocalist for various musicians; collaborating in both a composition and performance context. From an early age I was involved in school productions, dance lessons, a drama club and an orchestra. University improved my confidence and enabled me to achieve a good knowledge of music theory, music and dance improvisation, music and dance composition/choreography and music and dance therapy. Studies of opera, choir sessions and experience as both a solo and ensemble singer in lead and harmony all helped me to develop a strong, well-toned voice. The last year I enjoyed playing and singing for two local folk bands. I graduated and began working as a peripatetic and private tutor for Cello and Voice. I also worked with musicians at local venues on the cello and voice covering styles such as alternative rock, dance and easy listening. Previous experience of musical theatre and a passion for lyrics enables me to assess the story behind a song and the different ways to portray it.

Cant stay way form you
Cant stay way form you Year: 1987 Album: Gloria Estafan & Miami Sound machine Genre: Lounge
A beautifully simple tune with a lyrical content that resonate totally with. I have been told that my voice can sound like Glorias. I also adore singing the stimulating and challenging cuban rhythms of her spanish tracks!

If I could turn back time
If I could turn back time Track number: 19 Album: Greatist hits
A classic cher tune-enough said i think for this one---yet another set of words I relate to very easily. The powerful vocals expressing effective metaphors make this a nice easy one to remember!
