Session & Studio

Vocals that finish the track

I sing on other people's records and on their stages. For producers, artists and labels I deliver lead lines, backing stacks, ad-libs and topline demos: clean takes, tuned and comped to your spec, with a quick turnaround wherever you're based. I write too, so I can bring you a melody as well as a vocal.

What I deliver

Session services

Lead vocals

In-the-pocket lead takes across pop, soul, dance, house and more, always in service of the song.

Backing & harmonies

Arranged backing stacks, doubles, ad-libs and vocal textures to add width and lift to your production.

Topline & demos

Melodies and hooks written to your instrumental, delivered as a demo you can pitch or build on.

Remote sessions

Send stems or a rough; I'll track in my own space and return dry, tuned and comped stems, ready to mix.

In-studio

Prefer to be in the room? I'm happy to track at your studio and take direction live on the session.

Delivery you can trust

Labelled files, consistent gain, and versions on request. A tidy handover every time.

Listen

Hear my voice

On stage

Live backing vocals

Alongside studio work, I sing live backing vocals for touring and televised shows. It means locking into a band, blending with other singers, and delivering on big stages and live TV.

Writing

Toplines and co-writes

Alongside singing, I write. Send me an instrumental and I'll come back with melody, hooks and lyrics, or we can start from a blank page together.

  • Toplines written to your track
  • Lyrics and concepts
  • Co-writes, in the room or online
  • Delivered as a sung demo, so you hear the idea rather than read it
