Being born into a musical family, my taste for good music has always been present. My love for Jazz and Swing was inspired by The Ratpack, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Miles Davis, Chet baker, Count Bassie... I could go on forever - there were so many great artists who are still popular to this day.

​

In my earlier years of theatre performance, I was first introduced to the big band sound by a band called, ‘Swing 16’ starring as a lead vocalist in a stage production called, ‘Red Hot Swing.’ The high pitch of the trumpet and warming sound of the brass resonated with me completely, I was hooked! The very talented musical director Steven Sandiford, and Producers Margerie and Craig Brayshaw, worked with my talent to push me further in my career. Following a weeks sell out at the Albert Halls theatre in Bolton, we repeated the performance at the Middleton Theatre, which again was a great success.

​

During the show I had the opportunity to sing with an experienced Jazz Singer called Simon Flecture, our bond instantly formed and we decided to continue to perform together as a Duo named, ‘All That Swing,’ performing hits from the wonderful Swing /Ratpack era. The Singing duo has had great success performing at amazing venues all over the country such as Mere Hall, Crabtree Mannor, Rivington Barn, Midland Hotel, Eaves Hall and many more.

​

My Career led me to perform as a professional entertainer abroad singing at some of the top hotels in Rhodes, Greece, this experienced enabled me to work hard on my act and become versatile in my choice of music. My Father, ‘Dave Gee’ who is a very successful Singer helped me develop my stage performance and provided a good network of contacts in the industry. He is still a great inspiration to this day.

​

Back from the UK, I have since been casted for Television adverts, and Grand openings, corporate events, even singing at the Manchester City Ethiad Stadium at the players awards night.

My greatest achievement to date was singing at the Royal Opera house in London for a charity event called one life for BUPA.
