About
I'm very happily married to Rich and have a beautiful little girl Izzie, who are my world. I met Rich back in 2004, we got married on halloween in 2008, and Izzie joined us in 2012. My life is practically complete.
I danced from the age of 3 to the age of 12/13 yrs old, where I became a "teenager from hell" and quit! (Big regret now). but in 2003 I got into theatre, at my local Amateur Theatre company - where I have been a member ever since, been involved in many shows, including 'Allo 'Allo, Beyond a Joke, Caught in the Net and many more, I even directed "Pack of Lies" which was absolutely amazing! Such a buzz, now just waiting on the next "project" to come along.
In 2008, I joined a Musical Theatre Company, where my love for musical theatre (which had always been there from an audience perspective) came to fruition. Since then I have been in shows such as "Boogie Nights", "42nd Street", "Our House", and also done a couple of Pantomimes, all amateur, but finally got my "break", so to speak as I got the lead in my local groups panto - "Dick Whittington & His Cat" which was absolutely amazing!
At the beginning of 2015, I was lucky enough to be cast in a production of "Rent", where I also got the part of Alexi Darling, which we put on at The Crucible Studio in Sheffield, to great reviews and standing ovations!
I am currently rehearsing for Calamity Jane, which is already a hoot.
I love the #HollensFamily, both of them are absolutely amazing, but it was the lovely Evynne, that kick started my love for singing. And after a great performance doing Rent, I have now started taking Singing Lessons from an amazing tutor, musician, actor, dancer... the triple threat of theatre! - For those that know Rent, he played our Tom Collins, and Rocked it! So I am contemplating re-vitalizing my YouTube page with vlogs and maybe some little songs.
But for now. I'm just here to watch listen and enjoy.
Thank you if you got this far!

Heather Stewart After all the negativity going around the YouTube community in the last week, it's nice to come here where it's safe and warm. Thank you, Evynne, for continuing to be so uplifting and positive.

Gary McCall Love watching you perform. Music is great! Pretty intense for a love song. I am still learning how this works. We have been out of the country for a while so it took me a few weeks to view this in surroundings I can enjoy. Keep up the good work of breaking barriers and doing things in a new way.

Therese Schwartz Hey Evynne! I shared this video with (another) one of my clients today. It turns out she's going out of state tomorrow to visit a very good friend of hers for her friend's 60th b'day. My client wanted something special to share with her and decided your video was it! Also, the friend felt called a few years ago to start a support group for women so she did! It's a Bible study group but mostly a chance for women to come together and support each other. How cool is that?!?! :-D

Birger Olovsson I have had music-listening as a hobby since the middle of the 80's and I can't think how anyone can do a song more wonderful than what you do here with this song.
