About me

Hi, I’m Sidney.

I’m a vocalist, songwriter and actor based in Folkestone. I’ve spent years performing across the UK – on stage, on TV and radio, and in bands and studio sessions. Music isn’t just something I do; it’s the world I live in every day.

I’ve trained with leading vocal coaches including Kate Cameron, Gareth Malone, Nicola Palmer and ILĀ. Their guidance helped me build a technique that’s expressive, flexible and rooted in real artistry, not rigid rules.

In lessons, I bring all of that experience into the room – whether we’re strengthening your voice, shaping a song, or preparing for a performance or studio session.

Vocal coaching & artist development

What we can work on together

Sessions are tailored to you. We can stay purely with vocal technique, or weave in songwriting, performance and recording to build you as a complete artist.

Technique & tone

Breath support, vocal closure, mix, range, texture and stamina – all approached in a way that fits your voice, not a one-size-fits-all method.

Performance & confidence

Storytelling, stage presence, audition prep and managing nerves, with tools you can take into gigs, shows or studio sessions.

Songwriting & recording

Lyrics, melody, structure and arrangement, plus support for recording vocals so what you hear back finally matches how you feel.

Testimonial

“Supportive, inspiring, and really knows how to get the best out of you.”

Working with Sidney as my vocal coach has been an absolute joy. Not only is he a phenomenal singer with a brilliant ear for music, but he also brings a deep sense of understanding, empathy and fun to every session. His musicianship is outstanding, but what really sets him apart is the way he tailors his teaching to each individual.

Sidney creates a safe, encouraging space where you're never pressured but always supported. He listens carefully to your voice, helps you discover what works for you, and celebrates your progress every step of the way.
