Collaborating with other women is what inspires me the most; we all bring something to the table and together we make magic!
I am a pianist, double bassist, composer and sound healing practitioner. I studied at Chetham's School of Music, Edinburgh University, Mannes College of Music NYC, and the National Film and TV School. I’ve composed for animation, short film and theatre, including works performed at The Globe Theatre, London, and my music is featured in the BBC Radio 4 podcast series YETI (2023). As a pianist, I’ve performed with orchestra, and as a chamber musician in recitals in Europe. I have taught at The Purcell School and at the junior dept of The Royal Academy of Music, London.
