Hi - welcome to my new website…

I have performed on stages large and small, all over the world since I was 16. I have been called a jazz singer, a blues singer, a folk singer, a theatre-maker and a performance artist. In 2019 I co-founded Stornaway.io, an interactive video editor to transform video storytelling - with my husband Ru Howe.

I have realised it’s better not to define myself as any of these things.

I sing because, for me, it is a way of being myself and through that encouraging others to be themselves. And it is the quickest route to joy than anything else I know. I also like telling stories. Recently, I’ve storted writing those stories in words.

I create new things because it is exciting to have an idea and watch it grow into something tangible. I continue to be amazed at how creativity breeds creativity and if you keep curious and playful, amazing things can happen.

5 years ago, I started improvising in the streets of my new hometown of Bristol, UK. It led to my album Songbirds which included acapella soul songs I created through improvisation and singing what I was feeling. It changed my approach to pretty much everything I do.

I love singing with my audiences to remind us all of what really matters. The vulnerable, the human, the non-digital. People often cry and laugh - sometimes at the same time.

For me, every live performance is a moment to bring people together in a unique place and time and find out what might happen if we relax and have fun.
