Maddy Allison
Maddy grew up in Warwickshire, where a love of music was encouraged by a very musical family. It was here that she found a particular passion for singing and theatre, going on to perform professionally in productions in the West End and around the UK when she was young. She went on to study English Literature at university and spent some years working in primary education. It was during these years that she began to develop a love for jazz singing, and now enjoys singing as part of the 12-piece jazz band The Jukebox Rhythm Orchestra based in the West Midlands. Outside of work, Maddy can often be found with her new favourite book to hand, or out at the theatre.
