I'd love to play Carmen - it's the perfect mezzo role.

Yes. I do about 70 shows a year, in the past year I've been to Italy, Australia, Japan, China, just about everywhere. I do it because I love singing. The money is a bonus.

I really see myself as a homegirl. Wales is my first home. London is my second home - I've been there 14 years now.

From as young as I can remember, I always wanted to be a singer... My mum taught me 'Going Down the Garden to Eat Worms' for a competition when I was about 4.

I sing a mixture of everything from opera, folk music, Broadway. It's a mix of things.

For stage wear and gowns, Julien McDonald, who is a friend of mine. I love that he can be totally over the top for stage wear!
