2025. One year, two distinct halves - profound joy and deep pain in equal measure. Endlessly grateful for the people who carried me through. Here's hoping for a calmer, kinder 2026

What a wild and utterly unforgettable 24 hours!
It's been over 5 years since I stepped into a role on stage with an orchestra and for this to be the first one, singing a role I love so completely and surrounded by so many gorgeous friends, was a real dream come true. Particularly special to be up there with #CoverCorner pals @otise_lineham and @jamesquilliganbari
A huge thank you to everyone at @englishtouringopera for making everything run so smoothly and for keeping me supplied with ample amounts of coffee and to @trevitore for the sneaky š„

Last month I had the joy of taking part in the inaugural Rebecca Clarke Song Competition alongside my wonderful friend @kurisup š
It was a real privilege to explore and perform so many songs by female composers, past and present ā discovering so much beautiful and inspiring music along the way. Championing this repertoire feels more important than ever.
Iām honoured to have been awarded 2nd place among such a talented group of singers ā huge congratulations to all the prize winners and to all the incredible duos in both the semi finals and finals!
And a heartfelt thank you to the whole @swap_ra team and @kittywhately for creating such a supportive, safe, and nurturing space for artists to explore, connect, and grow.

This isnāt only about supporting emerging talent (though that matters enormously). Itās about experiencing music thatās been unjustly sidelinedāand witnessing artists who are passionate about changing that narrative. Your attendance directly funds this competition, supports artists at crucial career stages, and proves thereās an audience hungry for this repertoire.
A magical end to a fabulous festival! Last night we finished our Voices of the North festival with a sell-out evening of opera and musical theatre. Many thanks to those who joined us for our concerts over the week - we had an amazing time and we hope you did too!! š
Huge thanks and congratulations to all our performers as well - every concert was special in its own way and really showed a range of what vocal music can encompass š¶
Special thanks to all the people behind the scenes, especially Colin and the tech team who really outdid themselves with creating a magical atmosphere inside the concert hall āØ
We'll see you all in autumn! Have a wonderful summer everyone āļøāļøāļø
What a wonderful and joy-filled few days it's been. Performing on the @wigmore_hall stage is always such a pleasure but particularly so on this occasion having considered it my musical home for the last 6 months and to top it off with my Paris recital debut at the stunning @salle.cortot has been a total dream. All of this has been alongside the most incredible group of artists who I feel so privileged to have spent the better part of a year getting to know, work with and listen to.
To @rayningreindeers you are a superstar, and I am so proud of what we found together and to @edanon thank you for being my rock ā¤ļø
