I’ve been singing from a young age, I first performed as a soloist at 6 years old at Malcolm X Centre Bristol. It was a talent contest where the winner would go on to perform at St Pauls’ Carnival. After submitting my demo I won my place to perform and won my first prize for singing and came 8th out of 15. I then went on to perform at many different events and occassions for example, summer fayres and community centres. I Toured America with Bristols Schools' Chamber Choir visiting states such as, Boston and performed at the United Nations Building, New York in 2003 I’ve also performed at many well known venues such as The Carling Academy (Bristol), BBC Music Live, Royal Albert Hall (London), The Queen Elizabeth Hall (London), The Royal Festival Hall (London) to name a few.
