Composer | Artist | Vocal Coach

I’ve loved music for as long as I can remember. We always had a piano in the living room growing up and my brother — five years older than me and exceptional at playing — inspired me to start playing too. That led to me attending Newham Academy of Music throughout my school life and started my early classical music training.

At home my musical influences were more global. My parents, both Trinidadian, played Calypso, Nat King Cole and The Nelson Riddle Orchestra, while and my big brother introduced me to Stevie Wonder, Parliament and Earth Wind and Fire. Before moving to England, my dad had been a singer and my parents always fully encouraged my creativity. Their support gave me confidence and a strong sense of my creative identity. I am forever thankful for that.

I began writing songs in my early teenage years. It became like a second skin and set me on a path of originality and self-expression; a way of making sense of myself through melody and words — and that still guides me today.

For over three decades, I have created vocal works that fuse artistry, community, and collaboration — from international stages to grassroots movements. My music has been commissioned for choirs, ensembles, solo projects and large-scale collaborations.

I am now expanding my practice through Arts Council England’s Developing Your Creative Practice award, which supports my transition into theatre composition. Over the next 12 months I am developing new work that brings together voice, movement, improvisation, and multi-instrumental musicianship, with a view to presenting my first original theatre piece, Choral and Cellular, in Autumn 2026.

My Artistic Work

Original Composition & Commissions — Choral and solo works rooted in human connection and cultural identity.

• Vocal Arranging — Distinctive, dynamic arrangements for artists, ensembles, and choirs.

• Performance — As a singer-songwriter and lead artist, I create live experiences that are immersive, heartfelt, and impactful.

Mentoring and Coaching

Alongside developing my own artistry, I work with professional singers, songwriters, and performers through bespoke mentorship and coaching. My approach goes beyond technique: I help artists embody their true voice, refine their artistry, and perform fearlessly on stage and in the studio.

I have coached performers from ITV’s The Voice UK and The Voice Kids, and collaborated with artists including Joan As Police Woman, Brooke Combe, Blossoms, and Yoko Ono. I have also lectured at leading institutions including the Royal Academy of Music, Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, Royal Northern College of Music, and BIMM.

What I Offer

• Commissions as a composer and vocal arranger

• Performance as a singer-songwriter

• One-to-one coaching and mentoring for singers, songwriters, and performers

• Holistic workshops that combine harmony singing, songwriting, and improvisation.

At The Core

The voice is more than sound. It is breath, body, mind, and spirit in alignment. My work exists to release that alignment in others — and in myself — through song, storytelling, and shared human experience.
