Debs was brought up in south Wales and started singing at the early age of four. At the age of 11, she took part in her first full stage production and straight away got a love for the theatre and music. At the age of 14, Debs took her first lead as Maria in The Sound of Music with only 2 hours notice and sight-read the entire role from the wings. She began to compete in several Welsh music festivals (called Eisteddfods) which gave her a great platform for learning what to do and not do on the stage! Over the years Debs has won over 50 awards in competition.

Debs read music at Huddersfield University and went on to further vocal training at the Scottish Conservatoire of Music in Glasgow. Where part of her studies involved a module called Techniques of Singing specifically designed for singers who wanted to become singing teachers.

After completing her studies Debs went on to perform professionally in a variety of ways. “I was very fortunate to be performing in some capacity nearly every week. Now, I try to pass onto others what I have learnt from my own experiences within the music industry.”
