A voice rooted in soul, storytelling and freedom.
Music is where stories become breath.
Singing has always been part of how I make sense of the world. Influenced by soul, jazz, folk and spoken word, my music lives between storytelling and song, embracing vulnerability, joy and reflection. Whether performing original work or reimagining familiar songs, I'm drawn to music that invites people to feel before they think.

Live Performance
Whether performing with a full orchestra or in an intimate setting, I am drawn to music that creates connection and tells a story.
My work spans concert halls, jazz clubs, broadcast performances and festival stages, collaborating with some of the UK's finest musicians while remaining rooted in soul, storytelling and emotional honesty.
Selected performances include Trevor Nelson's Soul Christmas at the Royal Albert Hall with the BBC Concert Orchestra, conducted by Troy Miller, headlining alongside artists including Jamelia, Natalie Williams, Tony Momrelle and Jalen Ngonda. The concert was broadcast on BBC Radio 2 throughout the Christmas season.
Other performances include BBC Radio 2 Concerts in Malta, regular appearances on Friday Night is Music Night, and 100 Years of Billie Holiday with the BBC Concert Orchestra, hosted by Paterson Joseph and featuring Madeline Bell and Rebecca Ferguson.
Whether performing with a full orchestra, a band or an intimate ensemble, I'm always searching for the same thing: music that tells the truth, creates connection and lingers long after the final note.

Recording
Stories captured in song
Alongside live performance, recording gives me another space to explore voice, emotion and story. My recorded work moves between soul, jazz, folk and contemporary influences, with storytelling at its heart. Whether interpreting existing work or developing original material, I'm drawn to music that feels intimate, honest and alive.
I also love collaborating with artists, writers and musicians. Some of the most rewarding experiences of my career have come from creating music together - finding the space where different voices, ideas and perspectives meet.
