Gospel singing workshops

My gospel choir workshops are non-scary, energising, and - above all - lots of fun! They offer a safe space to give gospel singing a try, with no long-term commitment required.

So uplifting and a collective joy. Has helped alleviate many ‘adult’ inhibitions.

Creative church music resources

Three people in a room with wooden decor, two men playing guitars and a woman sitting between them, listening.

For churches that want to get creative with their musical liturgy, I’m creating a toolkit of free resources drawing from my 20 years of experience of innovative church music-making with gospel choirs, jazz liturgies, the King Cave Project, Greenbelt and more. Sign up to my newsletter to get updates about the toolkit.

Original songs

In midlife, I began writing songs exploring life’s crossroads, addressing themes of loneliness, resilience, hurt, joy, and the thrill of new beginnings.

My lyrics speak to those seeking inspiration, adventure, comfort, and connection, weaving wry humour with heartfelt honesty.

Jazz and gospel vocalist and session singer

I’m a seasoned, versatile professional singer with 20 years of music industry experience. As a member of Soul Sanctuary Gospel Choir and the London Community Gospel Choir, I’ve performed live with Justin Timberlake, The Clash and Mica Paris, and provided studio session vocals for Madonna, Ellie Goulding, and the Take That movie. Jazz career highlights include a BBC Prom with Kamasi Washington’s choir and a solo show at Ronnie Scott’s. I was part of a “sublime” performance by the Heritage Orchestra and Anna Calvi as part of the Edinburgh International Festival.
