I am 11 years old (12 on 16 December 2010). I started dancing at the age of 5 and still study all forms of dance to a very high standard. I didn't start singing until I was about 9 but it has soon become my total passion in life and I would sing every minute of every day if I could!
I live in Clacton on Sea in Essex with my mum Debbie, my dad Glen, my little sister Siena who is 3 and my new little puppy 'Cookie'. I also have a big brother John who is now married to Jenny and I love them all to bits. I started Clacton Coastal Acadamy in September this year and am really enjoying senior school and have made some amazing new friends.
This year has been an absolutely amazing year for me. In January of this year I was chosen, as one of 50, from 4000 that auditioned, to be a featured singer at the O2 arena for the Voice in a Million concert. The concert raised awareness for the thousands of children in this country that are waiting for adoptive parents. I was lucky enough to share the stage with various celebrities such as Rick Wakeman and Sinetta.
In February I auditioned for the main cast of Oliver in the West End and in April I found out that I had been successful and joined the show in May. I am currently still in Oliver, as I have had my contract extended until the show finishes on 8 January 2011. I am in 6 different scenes including the big numbers of Food Glorious Food, Oliver, Consider Yourself and Who Will Buy. I do 3 shows every week and love performing to thousands of people every week.
In July I had the opportunity to perform at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley, at the D & B Theatre school show, and sung the absolutely beautiful song 'Lion Tamer' written by Steven Schwartz, which you can hear on You Tube along with some of my other recent songs - Warwick Avenue, Smile and Music and Me.
In October of this year I was chosen to sing on a new TV show called 'Jamie and Anna's Big Weekend' which was aired on Nickelodeon at the end of October. I loved filming the show at London's MTV studios. I sung Adele's 'To Make You Feel My Love' and am lucky enough to be going back to sing again on the final show of the series later in the year.
The same weekend that I filmed for Nickelodeon I also was offered the part of Marieanne in the film Zenith House and made it through to semi finals of UK Unsigned. It was just such an unbelievable weekend for me and I am just the luckiest girl in the world to be having so much fun doing what I love to do most in the world.
I am sooo excited to now being working with MK Vibe on producing my first singles and, hopefully, an album in 2011. I am releasing a Christmas cover single but can't wait until January when I will get to release an original song. I am so thankful to Andy at MK Vibe for believing in me, for not treating me like a child, and for giving me the opportunity to become the credible artiste that I aspire to be. I will give 110% to everything that I do and will continue to train and work as hard as I possibly can to give the best performances possible.
I often scribble down my own lyrics and will soon be learning to play keyboard so that I can eventually write my own songs. I love lots of different types of music and enjoy listening to Duffy, Katie Perry, Pixie Lott, Adele, Cheryl Cole, Natasha Bedingfield and many others and particularly enjoy performing current ballards.
I would like to say a big thank you to my singing teachers - Charlotte King who was my first singing teacher and who helped me get into Oliver and also to Nick Graham who is the most fantastic pop teacher who has taught me so many tips and tricks to make my voice so much fuller and who has helped me increase my range so much in such a short time. I would also like to thank Simone Castle and Leanda Shelton, my dance teachers at Stagestruck the Acadamy in Frinton on Sea for constantly challenging me and always pushing me to achieve more.
I must say a big thank you to all my fantastic family and friends for their continued love and support and Andy at MK Vibe for giving me the opportunity to take my singing career to the next level. Last, but not least, I would like to say a massive thank you to my mum for always being there for me, for always believing in me and for working so hard to give me so many opportunities in life. You are so special to me mum, you mean the world to me and I love you so much!!!!
