PROFESSIONAL STUDIO RECORDINGS

Studio demos, commissioned arrangements & original work

This archive brings together a selection of professional studio recordings created over a number of years in Australia and Canada. The collection includes vocal demos, commissioned arrangements, original compositions and interpretations across a range of musical styles, recorded in collaboration with musicians, composers, arrangers and producers.

Many of these recordings were created during my time in Vancouver, with additional sessions recorded in Australia. Together they represent an important part of my professional musical journey and the development of my work as a vocalist and recording artist.
