Multi Award Winning Female Saxophonist, Birmingham, UK, Jazz, Gospel, Reggae, Blues, Soul and Originals. 'Music for the soul'
I have a really nice alto saxophone. It is the third I have used in my entire career, and the longest serving one so far. I love it dearly. It’s silver! It feels like a part of me when I play it, and that’s why I take care of it with the same carefulness I dedicate to my own hands.
I got the honour to perform at the service to commemorate the 64th anniversary of Jamaica’s independence, organised by the Association of Jamaican Nationals Birmingham (UK). The theme of the day was ‘Keep Hope Alive.’ A song from my repertoire that fits it very well is ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water,’ released by Simon & Garfunkel in 1970.
Here is the last clip I am going to share from the 2024 Caribbean Takeover files I found while browsing my folders the other day. In this one, I get off the stage to share the 70’s disco hit ‘Dancing Queen’ by ABBA with the audience.
After more than 300 years of colonial rule, Jamaica gained its independence on 6 August 1962. To commemorate this important date, tomorrow, Sunday 9 August, the Association of Jamaican Nationals of Birmingham UK will offer a service of praise and thanksgiving at the New Testament Church of God Handsworth. I will have the honour of providing the music for the occasion, and I would love it if many of you could attend.
Listen to my sax cover of the hit song ‘I Will Always Love You’ in the ballad version by Whitney Houston.
It’s always a pleasure to play songs by the legendary Michael Jackson. For a wedding that took place last month, I included this cover of his 1979 hit ‘Rock With You’. Here is a clip.
1121 is a bit of an odd number to celebrate as a milestone. However, it represents a little difficulty that has brought me a lot of joy. Every time I try to catch the moment I reach a more usual number to highlight, like 1100 or 1111, the count grows before I can take the screenshot!
Looking at my files the other day, I stumbled upon some videos taken at the Caribbean Takeover of the National Maritime Museum 2024. Here is the first of the few I am going to share!
‘You’re Still The One’ is arguably one of the best known songs of Shania Twain, which is a lot to say, given her extraordinary career as the best-selling female artist in country music history. Here is a sax version by The Millicent Stephenson Trio.
