London-based, Tina is a relative newcomer to the scene, but not to the music – jazz was her first language. A few years ago, she walked away from a professional life workingwith freelance journalists and threw herself into the music she had been making all her life. First, she began listening again. “I listened at work, at home, in the car, in the street, at concerts, gigs, jams, opening my ears to music across every genre. It took me over.  And I began to sing again. A riper voice maybe – but a true one.” With a love of great women singers, from Carmen Macrae, to Annie Ross, Sheila Jordan to Jessye Norman, Tina has her own take, telling stories through songs old, new and unusual and -increasingly - writing her own lyrics. With her torchy voice, Tina sings from experience, reaching out to audiences with a warm, authentic jazz vibe that is unique and moving. Tina’s upcoming album 'Moon Over Mildmay' is being released on March 6th, with an album launch on February 18th. Tickets to launch here Tina’s links click here
