Session singer and gigs

Alicia on SoundBetter

I was asked to do the vocals on an original song to feature on a popular ITV show. I'm unique because I'm an ordinary mum with a hidden talent...I'm proud of that, I've trained all my life and feel my voice is still evolving

My range is Alto/Soprano. I've been classically trained and been performing since the age of 5. I started out competing in music festivals, then competitions as I got to my teenage years. Then moved into being the lead vocalist in covers bands and I was signed to a talent agency where I began my solo career.
I'm very down to earth, love singing with a passion and put my heart and soul into every performance and studio session. I will bring life to a song, I have been praised for making people feel what I'm feeling when I'm singing. It's emotional, it needs to move people. I am also very versatile and can adapt to many different genres and styles including pop, rock, soft metal, soul and classical.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.
