Over the last few years Tracey has played as part of a duo, trio, quartet or larger band in hundreds of venues across the country, including The Cadagon Halls, The Wavendon Theatre, The Sands Gainsborough, Snape Maltings Concert Hall, The Connaught Rooms, The Dorchester, and The Lanesborough Hotels in London’s West End. Her band have performed at private parties, weddings, corporate functions, public restaurants and clubs and in March 2008 they were a huge success playing as part of the Nantwich International Jazz and Blues Festival, having been invited by Al Dean to play in The Crown Ballroom.

Tracey moved to London from her childhood home in Derbyshire aged 18, to take up a place at The London Studio Centre where she did a 3 year Performing Arts course and then on to The Central School of Speech and Drama to train as a vocal coach which she has done intermittently now for nearly 20 years. During her student years she learned the old fashioned way by gigging in pubs and clubs across the North of England and began to develop her love of composers such as Cole Porter and The Gershwins, who now figure heavily in her standard jazz repertoire.

She began her professional career in fringe theatre and small tours, playing many roles ranging from Beatrice in ‘Much Ado About Nothing’, to Minnie Mouse in ‘They Used to Star in Movies’. She has appeared in several pantomimes, her favourite being Mother Goose alongside the legendary Melvyn Hayes and in 1996 she joined the National tour of ‘Evita’ understudying Marti Webb as Eva Peron and performing several times as the understudy for the role of the mistress, and playing some of the top theatres around the country in the Abba tribute show Abba Gold, including the Manchester Palace, Oxford Apollo and the Bristol Hippodrome.

She now focuses on her love of jazz and blues and the standards of the 20s 30s and 40s, along with her own arrangements of more modern soul and popular standards. She has collaborated with pianist Jez Matthews for over 5 years now and together they have built up a reputation for playing laid back, melodic jazz. She also works regularly with pianists Richard Luck, Martin Litton, Colin Good, with double bassists Seth Bennett, Jonny Gee, Sandy Burnett and Dave Chamberlaine, and drummers Simon Spreyer and Ben Twyford, as well as Pierro Tucci and Charlotte Glasson on saxophone.

Tracey is also a regular singer with the popular 1920s and 30’s Piccadilly Dance Orchestra, with whom she continues to tour theatres and venues across the country. Tracey’s captivating vocals and stylish delivery are perfectly suited to the classic songs of the jazz and swing era. She performs favourites made popular by such artists as Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra and can provide either mellow background music or scorching up-tempo jazz for a night of dancing.

Tracey and her musicians are very experienced and professional performers who will ensure that the mood and the music at your event is exactly what you had hoped for.
