Meet Mama

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by.

Allow me to introduce myself...

I like bringing joy!

I’m motivated to make Collective Joy in the world, so I incorporate humour and positivity in my shows & do loads of joyful things with music and words, like:

I write songs

Every so often, I’ll pop out a song.

I like writing smart, cheeky, sharp lyrics - trying to emulate all the best songwriters who went before me. Y’know, Cole Porter, Noel Coward, Public Enemy…

R2 Magazine 4-star review of my album

"A hybrid of cabaret, R&B, blues, funk and fun...with a first album stuffed full of great ideas put to great tunes – and isn’t that the best kind of music?"

Hear, buy, stream & download my music on iTunes, Bandcamp & Spotify

I do performance poetry

I write & perform poetry - I love wordplay!

A joy download!

In a world where we're often isolated and separate, I'm on a mission to make get YOU more musical joy.

So I’ve taken all the funk, soul and groove I can muster and packed that into a party toolkit called Your Get-Together, so you can sing, laugh, eat, drink & be merry together in your own homes, whilst singing along with me!

“What a great show. Thank you so much for your talent, your enthusiasm and show-womanship”

Peter Oliver, promoter of Gator By The Bay Festival, San Diego, California, USA

The Get-Together

“We need this in our community”
