My name’s Carrie Griffiths and I am a singer, speaker, writer and voice coach.
When I started my singing journey back in 1999 I took classical voice training and Musical Theatre. As I developed into a contemporary singer I quickly noticed that different genres utilise different parts of my voice and that I could emanate them with some ease.
I now specialise in online singing lessons, helping singers, singer-songwriters and musicians to develop their singing and performance skills and make their name as professional artists.
Even if you’re the shyest singer you know, you'll find that my easy-to-follow teaching style will help you build the confidence to shine.
Reggae and, more specifically, Ska has been a dominant genre in my personal and professional life. I help singers to develop a more authentic reggae sound while enabling you to stay true to your natural vocal sound. I have been singing for more than twenty years and teaching singers since 2003.
​
I have shared the stage with such legends as The Skatalites, Dawn Penn, Dave Barker and Susan Cadogan, as well as Tippa Irie and Pato Banton.

FAQ
Do online singing lessons work?
The 2020 lockdown saw my biggest influx of students, all of whom learned online. Singers who work with me see huge leaps in their singing ability and enjoy high levels of personal and professional success.
​
Online singing lessons are, arguably the best way to learn, for a number of reasons:
No time consuming commute in hot weather or cold wind and rain, meaning less disruption for you and your family/friends/colleagues.
You can continue practicing your new skills immediately without having to wait until you get home.
Money saved on hiring a studio - which your singing teacher passes on to you.
Improve your singing and performance skills from anywhere in the world.
Constant improvement in technology.
Physical locality is no longer an issue - I have even taught one of Lady Gaga's crew while on tour!
​
My first singing student to embrace remote singing lessons was from Hong Kong. He was a singer who was preparing for his audition at the highly regarded Leeds Conservatoire. After working together for a year, he passed his audition and was offered a much sought after place.
​
Will online lessons work if I've never had singing lessons before?
Online singing lessons can be a fantastic way to boost your singing skills, regardless of your experience. In fact, the online learning environment can sharpen your active listening skills, supercharging your ability to connect with your voice and accelerate your development as a singer.
Do I really need a vocal coach?
With years of experience and ongoing training as a qualified and experienced vocal coach I understand the unique qualities of your individual voice.
I will guide you through customised vocal exercises crafted specifically to your needs and learning style, drawing from my extensive experience of training countless singers.
You will unlearn old habits that cause damage to your voice and create new habts that will build a strong foudation for great singing.
​
I have a background with more than two decades of professional singing and performance experience. This, coupled with my vocal training qualifications obtained from esteemed institutions like RSL Awards and ICMP music college, I have acquired a profound understanding of your voice as a musical instrument. This expertise enables me to navigate the intricacies and subtleties inherent in each distinctive voice, ensuring a rapid and comprehensive understanding of your specific vocal requirements.
How long will it take to improve my singing?
Everyone is different and the speed at which your singing skills improve depends on how committed you are to developing your singing skills. You can improve with just a few lessons, however vocal mastery takes time, practice and patience. There are no quick fixes. You're learning a skill. It's not quite a marathon, but it's definitely not a sprint!
​
I have found that it takes an average of 2/3 years to reach a proficient level of singing with the strongest skills that professional recording and gigging singers need.
​
Singers who practise regularly usually see results more quickly than those who are more casual about their progress.
Who Am I?
I am a professional singer with more than twenty years of experience and I have been blessed to have a long a varied singing career: I have performed in bands and as a solo artist, performing pop, rock, soul and ska in more than thirty countries to audiences of up to 30,000, selling three international top ten albums, including a Number One.
​
I wasn't always a singer, though. I started as a dancer as a child, competing and performing around England and Wales.
​
I started singing in 1999 when my husband gave me singing lessons for Christmas. I took to them immdiately!
After performing in a local amateur Musical Theatre show I was reminded of my days on stage as a child and I realised I wanted to make singing my life. By 2001 my marriage had all but broken down. My daughter was just six months old. I felt miserable. I hated my job and the one-horse town I had moved to.
I made the difficult decision to return to London and build a career as a singer. I moved back to my hometown and booked my first gig in Fulham within two weeks!
​
Alongside my singing career I completed Grades in both Popular Music and Musical Theatre, before taking my degree in Popular Music Performance (Vocals) at London's top music college, ICMP.
I have taught as a Music Lecturer in Inner and Greater London colleges for more than a decade.
​
I have worked with thousands of singers and musicians who have gone on to have varied and lucrative careers in music, media and the performing arts.
