Her versatile musical background blends perfectly with her passion for performing popular music, bringing fresh, soulful interpretations to a wide range of contemporary hits and classic favourites.
With years of experience as a professional vocalist, Phaedra has entertained audiences at weddings, festivals, and corporate events across the UK. She’s performed at prestigious venues, including singing for Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons and the grand opening of the Millennium Dome. Her polished vocals, warmth, and charisma make her performances unforgettable.
Beyond performing, Phaedra is a dedicated vocal coach, helping singers and performers of all ages and skill levels develop their talent. Her students have gone on to stage schools and successful music careers, including coaching Liam Payne of One Direction early in his journey.
From heartfelt ballads to upbeat party anthems, Phaedra’s passion for music and connection with audiences make her a perfect fit for Azure Skies, delivering vibrant, crowd-pleasing performances that turn any event into a memorable celebration.
