Cressida is a soprano with a bright, pure sound. She has been compared to the young Dame Kiri te Kanawa, a compliment which she hopes she can live up to. She has a wide classical and show tune repertoire and is always interested in learning new music. She has recently broadcast as a soloist on Radios 3 and 4 and recorded with Harmonia Mundi, and is 2011's York Festival Singer of the Year. During a choral scholarship at Clare College, Cambridge she gained wide experience as a wedding and event performer.
