I’ve been singing since I was a kid, and from the very beginning I knew that music was where I belonged. I studied Music Performance at Bath College and later songwriting at BIMM, where I discovered that writing and performing music was truly my calling. After university, I began teaching private singing lessons, sharing what I’d learned and helping others connect with their own voices. Although I spent some time working outside of music anvd eventually found my way to North Devon, I always came back to what I love most…singing, songwriting, performing and bringing people together through music.

I’m a musician through and through. I perform with my band, play solo, and love exploring different styles, from metal and rock to country, pop and blues. I have a particular passion for rock and extreme vocals, and I’m fascinated by the ways we can use the voice to create powerful, expressive and exciting sounds while keeping the voice healthy and sustainable.

That passion has led me to start my Master’s in Voice Pedagogy, where I’m developing my understanding of vocal technique, voice science and how we can approach contemporary styles in a healthy and effective way. I’m particularly passionate about helping singers explore their voices without feeling restricted by traditional ideas of what singing “should” sound like.

But music for me is about much more than singing lessons.

Community and grassroots music are hugely important to me. I host a jam night at the Palladium Club and have recently started running a choir, creating spaces where people can come together, make music and build confidence. I love seeing someone take the leap onto a stage for the first time, pick up a microphone, play an original song or discover that they’re capable of far more than they thought.

I have a real passion for grassroots music and for helping people become active participants in their local music scene. I want to encourage people to write original music, collaborate, support each other and, most importantly, get up on stage and give it a go.

For me, music is about expression, connection and confidence. Whether you want to develop your voice, explore rock or extreme vocals, find your confidence as a performer, write your own music, or simply get involved in a community of people who love making music, I want to help you find your voice and enjoy the process.

Performing again reignited not only my love for music, but my passion for helping others find their voice and confidence too.

Why I Started Bold Note Vocals

Bold Note Vocals grew from my belief that singing is about more than technique, it’s about expression, confidence, and connection. I know how powerful it feels to step on stage and be heard, and I want to help others experience that too.

I’m deeply passionate about grassroots music and about creating encouraging, inclusive spaces where women, men, transgender and non-binary people feel confident to perform. The real change starts at grassroots level, by giving people access to stages, supportive audiences, and belief in their own voice. This commitment is reflected in my Keychange pledge, where I actively work to showcase more women and girls in music.

Bold Note is based at The Palladium Club, North Devon’s only dedicated grassroots music venue. Teaching here means lessons aren’t just about singing; they’re about becoming part of a living music community and helping keep local live music alive.

Whether you dream of performing on stage or simply finding confidence in your voice, my goal is to give you the skills, support, and encouragement to get there.

Being authentic to yourself is what makes the best musicians.
