SINGER BIOGRAPHY:

I am a recent graduate of RWCMD opera school and currently study with Marie McLaughlin. I am passionate about storying telling through song and bringing song repertoire to new audiences. In 2023, I gave a recital as part of the Oxford International Song Festival that paired French song with the perfumes of master perfumer Christian Provenzano. I have had such a wonderful time exploring the works of all these amazing home-grown female composers! As a Scot living in Wales, I have particularly enjoyed recording these first two pieces; bringing together my own culture and wonderful music from the "Land of Song".
