Summary

Music is a vehicle and a means of communication and expression. With a passion for meeting and connecting people from all over the world, I am excited apply as a singer / musician on your ship. Currently working on the TSS Earnslaw Ship in Queenstown New Zealand and with 10 years of professional experience, sharing the joy of music is something I love to do and often invite guests on board to come and join me. Its always a great way to engage with clients and create wonderful memories! Professional and skilled I have developed a song list that is laid back and familiar. Covers with my own flavour that are classic and timeless, through to new releases.

Over the past few years I have also created a Luxury Art Experience, curating bespoke itineraries for the premium market, taking clients to visit artists in their studios off the beaten track in Queenstown NZ. It has been a wonderful journey, meeting guests from all over the world and creating unique experiences and everlasting memories.

Previous roles include working as a travel consultant with Air New Zealand for 10 years, starting my own Home Staging business, Teacher Aiding for Special Needs Children, Stage Managing Events and Art Consulting. I am capable of wearing many hats, am always very aware of what is happening around me and are able to provide support whenever needed in an efficient and caring manner. One to put others first, the opportunity to provide a unique experience through music and love of engaging with people is what I love.
