Now active across Melbourne, her performances follow five years of dedicated vocal study and notable appearances at the Newport Jazz Festival Australia and the Australian Jazz Convention.

Adapting her ensemble size from an intimate duo up to a full quintet, she provides tailored live sets for background music, weddings and functions. Depending on venue requirements, her lineup incorporates vocals, piano, double bass, trumpet, saxophone, guitar and drums.
