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 working with freelance journalists and threw herself into music-making. 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. An older 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 lyrics. A husky timbre to her voice, Tina sings from experience, reaching out to audiences with a warm, authentic jazz vibe that is unique and moving.

Tina has sung in gigs and jams in London at Green Note, Karamel N22, Toulouse Lautrec, Vortex, Piano Smithfield, Max Klub in Slovenia and Jazz Café Alto in Amsterdam, with two years of sell-out shows in the EFG London Jazz Festival, at the Actors Church in Covent Garden (2023) and at Hoxton Hall (2024) Tina has played with, among others, Conor Chaplin, Jay Davis, Miguel Gorodi, Danny Grisett, Dave Hamblett, Miha Koren, Max Luthert, Billy Marrows, Kieran McLeod, Sam Newbould, Rod Oughton. She has performed her show “A Little Bit of Monk and Others” with her band, and plays duo gigs with long-time collaborator, pianist Matt Robinson. In the 2023 , Tina’s debut album ‘Songs for Curly’ was released . BBC Radio London presenter and vocalist Jumoke Fashola hailed it as “ a very distinctive voice – a stunning debut .Tina has leapt into the world of music with both feet”.

Tina’s second album will be coming out in 2025, and features Matt Robinson, Miguel Gorodi , Oli Hayhurst, Kieran McLeod,Sam Newbould, Tom Ollendorff, Rod Oughton, Aanu Sodipe.
