Our Story

Meet Our Founder & Director 

Hi, my name is Debra and I have been blessed to enjoy an extensive career within the UK Music Industry singing, songwriting and producing music for myself, other artists, with many publishers and record companies including Universal Music, 19, EMI and Sony, BMG, etc., in addition to composing music for BBC, ITV, E4/Ch4.

My songs have played across the world on Radio, TV, and MTV and in many venues for live music tours. Singing and songwriting in a studio setting has brought a wide variety of collaborations and recordings with Grammy Award and Brit Award winning producers and songwriters resulting in Top Ten UK Chart success, No 1 Hits in UK and Europe, US Chart Success and even Tour Anthems across the USA.

Music of all genres has inspired to bring a wealth of experience from the earliest days singing in folk clubs with my guitar through to a two year college Diploma in Theatre Studies, winning two singing awards and sessions with Prof Mary Hammond of the Royal College of Music and subsequently leading roles in UK Musical Theatre tours, singing performances across Europe and comprehensive experience in studio sessions, recording radio jingles, fronting big-band shows, singing with Ronnie Scott’s ‘All Stars’, performing at music festivals, and much more.

Dipping in to the dance music genre led to co-writing ‘Blue Water’ which became Pete Tong’s BBC Radio 1’s Essential Tune, featured on a British movie soundtrack along with the music video featuring on all MTV channels.

Later I produced my debut solo album, ‘Child of The Universe’ which featured on BBC Radio 2’s playlist for ‘Good Morning Sunday’.

Why create Sing Fabulous?

 

Taking Care Of Wellbeing

Practicing yoga all my life I found that I turned to it more and more through busy periods, deadlines, after travel, etc., as it helped me return to my most authentic self by carving out moments for stillness, relaxed breathing and time on my yoga mat.

As I had the gift of more time in 2020 to indulge in diving ever deeper in to my Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga practice at home, this quickly led to training and becoming a BWY Yoga Instructor.

Studying holistic complimentary therapies due to the health changes of those close to me I trained with The Healing Trust NFSH becoming a Spiritual Healer, Bi-Aura International becoming an Energy Therapy Practitioner and attained Reiki Master Teacher, working for over a decade with many clients on Mind, Body, Spirit practices alongside my work in music.

 

I’ve learned that finding ‘balance’ throughout the central nervous system supports our wellbeing.

The stress hormone cortisol pumps through the body via the sympathetic nervous system during periods of anxiety and worry but it can be reduced and controlled through activating the parasympathetic nervous system using Breath Work, Relaxation and Meditation Practices.   

 

Benefits Of Singing

Studies show that singing stimulates the release of ‘happy’ chemicals endorphins, serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin by the brain, with the ‘feel good’ mood boost of happiness being longer lasting the more we sing, supporting physiological, mental and emotional wellbeing.

 

In addition a unique phenomenon takes place when singing, where neurons activate both the left and right hemisphere of the brain (left hemisphere interpreting language and words, right hemisphere interpreting music and sounds), so singers are engaging all parts of the brain at once! This ‘neuron firing’ neuroplasticity rebuilds old and builds new neural pathways, helping speech, memory and so much more.

 

Singing Holistically

Sing Fabulous blends the joyful positive power of singing with the restorative and re-energising elements of yoga including breathing, relaxation and positive affirmations, bringing a true sense of release from stress through singing holistically for authentic creative self-expression. 

We will be singing all our favourite tunes and exciting original music to boost our mood with positive energy as we discover ways to decompress!

 

By connecting mind, body and soul to become truly ‘present’, by having that self-awareness of our voice, we can reach our highest ‘singer’ potential, find a real joy and feel a deep sense of achievement when singing solo, with a vocal group or as part of large choir.

 

To have this opportunity to share all I have gained through a vast array of vocal experience from singing in recording studios and for audiences in intimate venues to much larger stages, to combine a lifetime of singing with this important knowledge of how to use ‘rest-and-restore’ practices that really work is both exciting and amazing.

 

Sing Fabulous offers the powerful positive benefits of singing holistically with all the best music,

I invite you to join us for a free ‘taster‘ session with our Sing Fabulous Choir or for a 1:1 Singing Lesson or Vocal Coaching Session,

 

I so look forward to meeting you xx
