I am Raya Sambidge a professional vocal coach and singer. My passion is to help you achieve your perfect sound using techniques and tools that enable you to sing and express yourself with ease. I have many years of experience in the industry and in turn will use this knowledge to guide you on a long lasting career.

Having taken professional singing lessons from a young age I quickly became inspired to become that singing teacher that truly made a difference. Having completed the BAST (Be A Singing Teacher) Contemporary Voice Teaching, the

Estill Voice Training and Vocal Health First Aider qualifications, my knowledge in voice science, vocal pathology and vocal health is both current and extensive.

I graduated from the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance with a BMus in Popular Music Performance. My versatility and passion for music enabled to

perform alongside artists such as Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, Matt Terry, Katherine Jenkins, Martine McCutcheon.
I have performed in a wide variety of different groups and in many genres such as pop, gospel, jazz and soul. Some of these include close harmony girl bands, touring with a gospel choir and performing at various London venues as a lead vocalist in a soul band. In addition to performing live with these groups, I have worked on several TV shows such as The X Factor, Britain’s Got Talent and The

Voice providing backing vocals.

As a vocalist my experiences have taught me the importance of vocal training and maintaining optimal vocal health; in order to sustain a long-lasting career. It is my goal to provide you with the tools and techniques to master your own unique voice.

Due to my live performance background, I understand the value of vocal training and vocal health in maintaining a long and successful singing career. That's why I will always prioritize both aspects, ensuring that you receive comprehensive guidance to develop your vocal potential while also learning techniques for vocal care to sustain the longevity of your voice.
