I am a versatile vocalist with a four octave range and a background in pop, rock, jazz, soul, trip-hop, classical, cross-over, musical theatre and tango. Throughout my vocal career, I have collaborated extensively with songwriters, bands, and ensembles to create original music and reinterpretations of popular covers. Whether working as a session singer, songwriter, live performer, or vocal lead, I bring a deeply adaptable and expressive vocal artistry to every project. Based in Zurich, I perform as a tango singer with pianist Robert Schmidt, front the cover bands The Shindigs and Kolor8, and perform in the duo Away with the Clouds. I am currently looking for new live performance opportunities, creative collaborations, and studio session work.
My commitment to vocal mastery includes classical training under soprano Katia Paschou (KPP project's The Show Must Go On) and extensive training in Zurich with Jane Thorner Mengedoht, participating in annual performance workshops. My theatrical vocal work in Zurich includes performances with the Zurich English Speaking Theatre (ZEST) in The Bridges of Madison County and Steven Berkoff’s Lunch, as well as Hitler's Tasters with the White Rabbit Theatre Company.
My qualifications include a BMus (Hons) in Popular Vocal Performance, a PGCE in Music Education, and I am currently in my first year of Complete Vocal Technique (CVT) Teacher Training in Copenhagen.
As a vocal coach, I focus on helping singers develop their own authentic voice and secure technique. Having personally overcome GERD and vocal nodules, I specialize in vocal health and recovering from vocal strain. My lessons combine advanced CVT mechanics with practical relaxation techniques from yoga, meditation, and acting to release body tension and manage stage fright. I teach all skill levels, helping beginners build pitch from scratch and guiding advanced singers to professional platforms like The X-Factor and The Voice as well as helping singers with their original music and in the recording studio.
