When and where was your first experience of music / singing?

I began singing as a chorister in the college chapel in Winchester, at age nine. After COVID, at 16 I rejoined the same choir as a countertenor, and sang there for another two years until I left school.

Where did you grow up? Did you have access to classical music?

I grew up both in the Scottish Highlands and Hampshire. I was lucky enough to be steeped in music from a young age; lots of singers in the family made the field very difficult to avoid! Having left UCL, I now live and work in London.

What has been your most memorable performance so far?

It would have to be singing in a concert in the Cathedral of St John the Divine, New York on tour with the choir of St Luke’s, Chelsea. The beautiful programme coupled with the sheer scale of the world’s largest protestant cathedral made for an unforgettable experience.

What would your dream performance be?

Performing in Purcell’s Come Ye Sons of Art is definitely a goal of mine for the future!

What are you looking forward to with Genesis Sixteen?

As well as being surrounded by incredibly talented singers, I am excited for the opportunity to learn from some of the hugely well-informed professionals that sing in and work alongside the Sixteen, and take on board all that they have to offer.

Outside of singing, what do you like to do in your spare time?

When I am not singing, I enjoy running, long hikes, scrabble, and electronic music production!

Are you in any other young artists schemes?

This coming academic year, I am also singing with Vox Next Gen, Vox Urbane’s young artists’ programme.
