What is your professional background?

Since primary school I have been singing professionally as soloist, entertainer and cantor in public landmarks and sacred sites of many denominations overseas, in New South Wales and Sydney’s outer areas.

I am classically trained, studied voice performance music for many years and attended Sydney Conservatorium of Music, studied under many greatly-acclaimed teachers.  I have taught singing.

What is your style of singing?

I am a specialist in sacred, classical, operatic-crossover, soft rock, light jazz and contemporary singing for weddings, funerals/memorials and wakes. I can help you select the perfect songs and hymns.

Can you provide an accompanist?

Yes: I perform with:

  • the resident organist, pianist or other musicians
  • I can provide my own musicians
  • I can provide my own discrete PA system
  • I can sing unaccompanied (acapella).

Do you have a specialty?

My styles are wide and varied, including

  • Swing
  • Soft Jazz
  • Contemporary
  • Popular
  • Classical
  • Operatic
  • Sacred songs / hymns

What if you do not know a song we want ?

I will do my utmost to accommodate song requests to secure the sheet music and learn that song for you, otherwise suggest an alternative as I have an extensive repertoire.

What if my relative wants to sing something?

I will lead the hymn singing as I know the right tunes and words where as non-church relatives and friends may feel tentative in having to attempt the singing by themselves at such an emotional time.
I am very experienced with Roman Catholic Requiem masses, other Christian and non-denominational services.

Duration of my services?

I will arrive 1 hour before the service is due to commence and stay until the service is finished.

What time do you arrive at the event?

I will usually arrive one hour before the commencement time of your event to set up equipment and do sound checks and liaise with musicians and key people.

What do you wear at the service?

I usually wear a long dark dress. Occasionally I am requested to wear colour, ie, red, green, blue or white. I do my utmost to accommodate requests.

I can wear more casual attire if the dress code and you request me to do so.

How far ahead do we have to book you?

Some people book me up to two years in advance if I have sung for them before, while others may be wanting to organize things more quickly. The sooner you contact me prior to your special event, the better chance of me being available.

What experience do you have?

What are your fees?

Every event is different as I offer a bespoke service to create beautiful singing and music for your occasion. I have been told my fees are much lower than expected, best to give me a quick phone call.
