K: When and how did you first start learning singing?
S: I first started learning music at school. My headmistress at Primary School was also our music teacher and she had us singing in choirs and solo singing from an early age! One year I was entered into the local music festival solo singing competition and to my surprise, won! I then started having singing lessons and went on to gain a place at the
Junior Royal Academy of Music in London where I went every Saturday from the age of 11 to 19. I then went on to train at the
Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama where I got my degree.
K: Who inspired you to study music?
S: My singing teacher at the Academy had lots of wonderful students, many of whom were older than me, and watching them in performances and going off to become professional singers really inspired me.
K: What is the most memorable performance that you have done?
S: There are several memorable performances that spring to mind but one of the most bizarre was on the edge of the Delaware River in New Jersey, America. We were there as a group on a tour of the States and on this particular night, the piano had to be rolled down a field to the river and we were all covered in bug spray! Very entertaining!
K: Who is your favourite composer?
S: My favorite composer is
Benjamin Britten. At music college I played the part of Mrs Noye in
Noye’s Fludde and have loved all his works ever since.
