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

I am originally from Cardiff but grew up in Hereford and was a chorister in the cathedral from ages 8- 11.

What has been your most memorable performance so far?

What would your dream performance be?

What are you looking forward to with Genesis Sixteen?

I’m mainly looking forward to meeting like minded people of my age and making music together! Also to be working with such high prolific individuals of the choral industry is a great honour and I’m sure I’ll learn such a lot from them.

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

Outside of singing I play a lot of rugby and cricket. I am currently playing rugby for men’s 1XV at university.
