I was born and raised in a little town in Shropshire doing all the things children should be doing these days like climbing trees and sliding down muddy hillsides with the dogs! When I was indoors, I was learning my classical music foundations playing the flute. I began to find my voice singing along to the likes of Whitney Houston (loudly at all hours!)

When I was 18 I moved to Leeds to study Musical Theatre at SLP College where I spent four years of intense training in dance, acting & singing. After finishing my course I moved to London and my first job in the big smoke was singing at Archer Street Cocktail Bar, Soho. It was a great experience, I found my voice, my repertoire improved, I received different audience responses every night and most importantly, I met some amazing artists who became great friends.

Since moving to London, I found some time to travel Europe, worked in India as a dancer for a month and performed as a dancer (a punk!) in the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremonies. The best audition and of course the biggest and best show I’ve ever done. The only thing that could try to top that is when I start travelling the world with my music … That’s the dream! Although I have now performed at the Adelphi in London’s West End twice within the last 6 months (December 2023 and April 2024) which feels like a full circle moment having studied musical theatre.

I’ve been fortunate enough to perform around Europe (Madeira, Germany, Holland) and for P&O in Australia as well as performing at lots of weddings and corporate events all over the UK. I particularly enjoyed a New Years Eve gig in Singapore too! In the last couple of years I braved it and started performing my own music at open mics and I busked at Edinburgh Fringe Festival (2015 and 2023) and in 2015 performed at The Wee Pub – the smallest pub in Scotland.

When I applied online for a job with a function band a few years ago, little did I know I would meet Danny J Grant who would become the other half of my originals project ‘JAYS‘. We have released our debut EP and are working on our second. We’re proud to have achieved strong streaming numbers and to have performed at some iconic London venues like The Bedford, The Amersham Arms and The Half Moon Putney (synonymous with The Rolling Stones!). 

I’m currently performing as Christine McVie in the theatre show ‘Go Your Own Way‘ which tours the UK and internationally 12 months of the year.
