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 the music she’d been privately making all her life. “I just 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. I began to sing again.”
Since then, Tina has been building her reputation as a vibrant and charismatic vocalist. While holding a torch for the jazz vocal tradition, she has a distinctive, instantly reognisable voice and her performances have a warm, authentic jazz vibe.
With a love of great women singers, from Carmen Macrae, to Annie Ross, Sheila Jordan to Jessye Norman, Tina has her own take, and curates her repertoire carefully, interpreting unusual standards in her own way, and - increasingly - writing her own lyrics.
She has played at London venues including Green Note, Karamel N22, Toulouse Lautrec, Vortex, Piano Smithfield, and at Max Klub in Slovenia and Jazz Café Alto in Amsterdam. With her band she has performed two years of sell-out shows in the EFG London Jazz Festival at the Actors Church in Covent Garden (2023) and at London’s Hoxton Hall (2024).
Tina has played with British jazz musicians, Sam Braysher, Conor Chaplin, Jay Davis, Miguel Gorodi, Dave Hamblett, Oli Hayhurst, Chris Hyde-Harrison, Max Luthert, Billy Marrows, Kieran McLeod, Sam Newbould, Tom Ollendorff, Rod Oughton, and has also sung with international musicians Danny Grisett, Miha Koren, Jure Pukl, Joe Sanders. With her quartet, she performs her show “A Little Bit of Monk and Others”, and plays duo gigs with long-time collaborator, pianist, composer Matt Robinson.
Tina’s debut album ‘Songs for Curly’ came out in 2023. Her second album, “Moon Over Mildmay” was released on 6 March 2026
