About

After graduating from Leeds Conservatoire and many years of experience, I am now offering singing lessons to people who are passionate in singing. My lessons are suitable for people of any age and level (advanced and beginners). I specialise in Pop, Rnb / Soul music but I am willing to explore any other styles of music that my students may desire.

At every lesson, we will be exploring some vocal techniques that will improve your airflow, vocal control and vocal health as well as tone and musicality. In addition, we will emphasise on your performance, stage presence and confidence. Aiming to create an inspiring and relaxing environment, I am interested to see my student’s originality and authenticity, giving them the freedom to express themselves in any way! Learning outcomes:

  • technique
  • expand your range
  • learn how to use different registers of your voice
  • confidence on stage and presence
  • reduce anxiety or anything that you worry about
  • develop a unique style, authenticity and originality
  • vocal health
  • vocal control

About me : I am a professional singer-songwriter and performer based in Leeds but originally from Cyprus. I have a lot of experience at gigging as i have participated at many concerts and musicals while growing up. Eventually during my three years of studying at the Concervatoire I had the opportunity to collaborate with many talented musicians and thrive my skills and creativity into the next level. After months of hard work and consistency, I have finally released my debut single “Honest” which is a Pop/Soul Ballad influenced by artists such as Yebba Smith, John Mayer, Labrinth etc. Subsequently, I would love to share my experience with my students because creating is such a “sincere” and alive process. I am currently doing several Function Gigs with Kudos Band which is an international private party band and working on different exciting projects as well.

You are the future of music, not only i would love to share my skills with you, but also learn from you. Our first lesson will be free so we can get to know each other and talk about your goals and desires as a vocalist. We will do some warm-ups (depending on your level) and then we can work on a song of your choice. if you decide that you would like to work with me, each lesson is £35 per hour and i can teach either online or at pupils houses.
