About
I have a diverse professional background having participated in many pioneering theatrical projects. Now based in Central Florida, I am originally from Europe where I worked extensively as a producer of new musical theatre; my talent and close relationship to music has taken me all over the world.
I have worked with industry leaders and maintain personal relationships with influential creatives on both sides of the Atlantic having worked globally for international companies including Disney, Easy Theatres, Veritas Entertainment, Royal Caribbean and Aria Entertainment.
I have a strong track record of creative innovation, I produced many UK and World Premieres of new musicals as a co-founder of The A STAGE KINDLY New Musical Theatre Initiative with West End producer Katy Lipson. I am also an award-winning vocalist recognized with two prestigious RTN Awards in 2018 after making my New York cabaret debut as a special guest at the Triad Theatre in Manhattan, whose diverse experience in creating theatre affords me a unique approach as both a practitioner and a teacher.
I currently coach private students in vocal performance and stagecraft, having performed worldwide as a featured vocalist in a number of successful acts including The 12 Tenors, Stars of Opera and Viva Voce in such legendary venues as The Royal Albert Hall in London, China's Great Hall of the People in Wu Xi, and the Bukanmara Hall in Tokyo. I have shared stages with icons including Brian May from Queen, Idina Menzel from Frozen, and multiple platinum-selling recording artist Josh Groban on whose Greatest Hits album I sing.
As well as producing 16 productions of new musicals in London, I have written and created two contemporary operas of my own: Turkish Delight the Opera (the macabre tale of a scorned woman's revenge) and SOVIET ZION (an ambitious historical drama set in Siberia). I produced with an all-star cast the ambitious feature-length Original Concept Album of this epic work which was released in 2021 and has received unanimous 4- and 5-star reviews. It is available now on iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon, and other leading digital platforms with plans being made for a major presentation in New York.
I am the founder of The Pinnacle Singers, Central Florida's premiere vocal ensemble which as well as presenting an acclaimed series of concerts has been developed into a unique opera company: I reduce grand pieces for chamber forces, abridging and re-translating them into accessible English, to present them reimagined and in unexpected spaces - our debut was a unique three-person Turandot which premiered on a Florida farm!!
My experience producing theatre as a creative both in the spotlight and behind-the-scenes gives me a unique insight into the needs of the performer, producer, student, and audience alike.
