Biography:

Born in Limerick City, Ireland, Tina grew up in a large musical family. Moving to London at an early age she first sang in her parents showband, an invaluable experience!

Later, encouraged by successful elder brother Rusty (The Skids, Rich Kids & Visage), Tina started mixing with his crowd on the London scene. Meeting the likes of Midge Ure and Boy George, Tina started to sing backup on many of Rusty's projects, the first being a re-working of the Zeppelin classic 'Whole Lotta Love'.

It was around this time, the mid 80s, that she first met and collaborated with song writer/producer Brian Marshall. Impressed by her obvious talent, he recommended her to the Q-Tips (Paul Young having left to pursue his solo career) and with Tina as vocalist, the reformed band gigged extensively.

Blue eyed soul music was not to her taste however and soon she returned to her musical roots singing with the Hellfire Club, a band sporting Brian Robertson (ex-Thin Lizzy), Paul Raven (ex-Killing Joke), and Les Warner (ex-The Cult). Extensive touring developed her vocal power and stage craft in countless venues and she was soon in demand for session work.

This led to her guesting on Bad Company's American top ten hit 'If You Needed Somebody' and their ''Holy Water'' album.

Feeling ready to step up a gear, Tina embarked on a solo career. Teaming up with Brian Marshall again to supply songs and production, they demoed more than an album''s worth of material which complimented her emotive voice and stunning presence.
