Cheltenham Choir Leader

Born in Oxford and brought up in the city of Birmingham, Loula was inspired into a musical career after having a mother as a music teacher. Singing with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra from a young age, under the direction of Sir Simon Rattle, she went on to get her music degree at the University of Leeds. Loula then obtained a place at the prestigious Guildford School of Acting (GSA Conservatoire), where she achieved her Masters in Musical Theatre. She has since been a professional performer and vocalist for over 15 years working in musical theatre in London's West End, singing on the high seas, appearing on TV, pantos galore and touring the UK.

After the 2020 pandemic, Loula built on her contracts as cast vocalist/company manager with Seabourn cruise line and took a step up to becoming a popular Cruise Director, travelling the world and heading the entertainment program onboard six star luxury vessels, creating unforgettable moments at sea for thousands of international guests.

Since returning to terra firma, Loula has made her base back in Birmingham and, with a flair for interior design, spends her spare time ‘titivating’ her apartment, has found a new love for Pilates, treasures time catching up with friends and family, and enjoys relaxing with a good book, a glass of New Zealand Sauvignon and a 9 year old Frenchie called Pablo.

Currently working as a vocal teacher for children and adults alike, whilst also gigging and keeping her passion for music alive, Loula joins i-Sing Choirs with an open heart and open mind and is excited to see where this journey will take her. Here’s to singing from the soul and living life to the full!
