ABOUT

I am currently looking for evening/weekend work as a vocalist doing some acoustic sets or as a front woman in an existing or new band. I have experience in singing a wide range of styles, have experience in all genres (with the exception of metal, heavy rock and r'n'b).
Particular expertise in Music Theatre/Showtimes, Big Band, Pop and 60s-90s Covers.

Have had a bit of a break from bands and gigging the past few years, but have been singing and acting on stage in Music Theatre shows.

I have worked as a vocalist part time professionally for my whole adult life.
My last project was as a vocalist in 9 piece jazz/swing band "The Martini Sisters". Prominent gigs included the private after party for MTC'S "The Drowsy Chaperone" (featuring Geoffrey Rush) , The Steve Waugh Foundation, Bastille Day celebration at Red Bennies, Dizzy's Jazz Club, The Penny Black, Bennet's Lane, among other private functions, soirees and birthday parties.
I have also worked as a music theatre performer, wedding singer, studio vocalist, Singer in original indie pop band "Candy and the Fits", children's entertainer, in touring shows, and as an actor.
