As well as being an accomplished performer, Aneesa also works as a vocal coach and team building facilitator, helping people improve confidence in themselves through singing.

This is her first Golden Handbag Show and comes just a week after she co-presented with Mark Yarrow,  the Hand in Hand Gala Concert of LGBT Choirs at the Brighton Dome.

The concert was a huge success and featured performances from some of the best LGBT choirs in the UK and Ireland.

Aneesa conducted the 80 strong Rainbow Chorus LGBT choir which over the last few years she has trained into one of the finest LGBT choirs in the country.

Aneesa has a huge vocal range and when she is not singing solo, performs with the three-piece female trio, Bliss Art.

Her most recent project is the Good Vibrations Choir, for the Martlets Hospice. She has been running vocal workshops since February engaging patients, volunteers, carers, staff and friends at the Marlets. They all came together for the first time as a choir in May and have their first concert planned for July.
