Singer

Bristol

During my time as a student at the University of Bristol, I sung with a variety of groups: the Bristol University Music Society's Chamber Choir, the University of Bristol A Cappella Society's TUBBS A Cappella, HotTUBBS, and Pitch Fight. More recently, my barbershop quartet, Avalon, became the Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers' National Champion Quartet in October 2018 and have been singing all over the country ever since. I have also performed as a solo singer, accompanied by piano and also in front of a full jazz band. My repertoire is varied and my voice is versatile.
