Hello and welcome to my site!
I am a professional singer, piano vocalist, songwriter and vocal coach, born just outside Wellington, New Zealand, and brought up in West Oxfordshire. After 6 years in Liverpool, I now live in rural North Lincolnshire.
I graduated from LIPA in 2003 with a BA (Hons, 2:1) in Performing Arts/Music, and since then I have been very happily touring with The Australian Pink Floyd Show , as a backing vocalist. I've been lucky enough to travel with them internationally, singing on tours of the U.K., Germany, Italy, North America, Canada and South America, and at various festivals in Malta, Holland, Belgium, Portugal, Sweden and the Isle of Wight, sharing the stage with many amazing artists including Status Quo, Tori Amos, Toto, Thin Lizzy, The Wailers and Robert Plant.
As a solo piano vocalist, I am available for bookings for events such as weddings, parties and corporate functions. I have a good repertoire to suit many occasions, and can offer a great backdrop to your event, giving a personal and memorable performance.
I have always loved to sing, and I like to believe that it shows in my voice, my songs and my performance. Before training at LIPA I lead my own choir and have also taught singing, mainly in primary schools, as a freelance tutor/musician, running workshops and generally having fun making music. This is something I would like to continue.
I have many different influences, my taste ranges from Led Zeppelin to Nina Simone, Diana Krall to Ben Folds, Jill Scott to Joni Mitchell; I've never been able to name my favourite song or vocalist, as I love so much music. I am hugely passionate about my work.
I hope you enjoy my home on the web!
Warmest regards,
Emily
