'Lyrically courageous, musically eclectic , performing with genuine inspiration' ...BBC 'New York Nights is brilliantly sung, produced and played' ..Pennyblackmusic 'dynamic, from start to finish'....Fatea Magazine 'Outstanding'...Pennyblackmusic 'Risa breathes her music into the microphone-and her music is real, touchable and tangible'  Rambles.Net

My work is eclectic and my songs range from Brill Building Pop to Jazz.  I love experimenting with lyrics and various topics/situations. My work is a kind of modern retro if there is such a thing.
 
I also love my food, tap dancing,drawing, reading, travelling and have helped used my music to support charities such as Christies, BANA (Acousic Neuroma), NSPCC and I would love to support Mental Health as the NHS is very underfunded.  I am an insane charity shop person and love Ebay where i have gotten some amazing things from various Eras by top designers.
