My singing career began with seven years at the helm of the multi-Grammy® Award-winning vocal group The Swingle Singers, an experience which fostered my love of performing contemporary and avant-garde music whilst giving me the perfect way to combine my classical soprano training with my love of singing jazz. Whilst still in the group I became a London-based session singer, recording soundtracks for Film/TV/Games at the iconic Abbey Road Studios, a job which I very much enjoy because I get to sing in lots of different styles…plus sight-reading is my superpower!

As a soloist I’m most often engaged to perform works which demand both classical technique and jazz style, for example Will Todd’s Mass in Blue - listen to my album - and Duke Ellington’s Sacred Concert. I also have a jazz duo with my husband, Alexander L’Estrange, aptly named L’Estranges in the Night. We’ve been providing entertainment for corporate events, formal dinners and private parties for 30+ years, as well as appearing at London jazz venues such as Pizza Express Jazz Club and The Pheasantry.

My 35 years of experience as an ensemble singer has been hugely influential on my composing. I was a member of the award-winning chamber choir Tenebrae for twenty years, recording numerous choral albums under the direction of Nigel Short, and for the past 35 years have been singing with Tonus Peregrinus the ensemble founded and directed by Antony Pitts. With Synergy Vocals I perform works by Steve Reich, John Adams, and, most recently at the 2025 BBC Proms, Sofia Gubaidulina. I’m a regular singer with London Voices, directed by Ben Parry, with whom I work in studios and on stage, performing works by Stockhausen, Berio, and contemporary composers for Film and TV.

Television appearances have included singing for Alice and Hugo’s wedding on The Vicar of Dibley and in the recent Audi A6 commercial.

During the covid lockdown I began working remotely with composers around the world, recording their music in the professional recording studio I’m lucky enough to have at my home in Hertfordshire. If you have a choral piece or song you’d like me to record, I’d be happy to hear from you!
