ABOUT

I am a dedicated musician and songwriter. I play the piano, acoustic guitar and occasionally electric. I sing as well with an alto to mezzo soprano range. I have lots of experience in performance, mainly dance and theatre. However I would like to take my talents in music more seriously. I have performed many covers in a variety of talent shows and fairs.
