Artist & Artistic Consultant | Composer | Vocal Architect

I am an Artistic Consultant, Composer, and Vocal Architect creating original vocal work and participatory performances across the commercial music industry, education, and cultural sectors.

For over 30 years, I have created vocal work that fuses artistry, collaboration, and community — from international stages to grassroots movements. My practice spans composition, curation, performance, collaboration and the development of artists and ensembles operating at a high professional level within the contemporary music industry.

I am currently expanding my artistic practice through Arts Council England’s Developing Your Creative Practice funding, developing new theatre-based work that brings together voice, composition, movement, improvisation, technology and multi-instrumental musicianship, with a view to presenting my first original theatre piece, Choral and Cellular, in Autumn 2026.

I have also worked within higher education and conservatoire settings including the Royal Academy of Music, Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, Royal Northern College of Music, and BIMM.
