Hypnotique is an artist with a rare skill in the modern world - heart-stopping originality. Musician, producer, voice artist, actress, sonic sculptor, model, storyteller, chanteuse and performance artist - Hypnotique is a creature who defies conventional definition in her exploration of the 'total artist'.

Her electro-cabaret live shows explore the fundamentals of a good yarn: trapped within her wicked web of intrigue is a mêlée of macabre tales definitely unsuitable for children, surreal lunar musical landscapes, stories from an ultra modern world, hypnotic ether sounds and darn funky grooves which transport the voyeur from near drug induced euphoria to the obsessive despairs of high Romanticism. Hypnotique tells the tales and amplifies the sounds of a new urban industrial synergetic age - her own self defined 'suburban rural' upbringing in the East Midlands fires her 'kicking against the pricks' attitude - with real life tales of corrupt presidents, disenchanted prime ministers, child murdering witches, S&M lesbian housewives and dead media princesses. For music, take the pounding throb of an oscillator driven fairground whirr and beat in a viciously rotating blender with a dash of Berlin cabaret, film noir soundtracks & free jazz electronics, then serve in a cocktail glass of high glamour and brutal sexuality. Bottoms up!

Hypnotique seeks to explore elements of the dark side of the subconscious and ritual obsessions in her ever-confrontational work; combining Orwellian nightmares with an offbeat humour, she rides an explosive trail that leaves lesser mortals burnt out in the wake. With influences ranging from Throbbing Gristle to Kafka, Pierre Schaeffer, Ennio Morricone, Shirley Bassey, Laurie Anderson, John Barry, Lydia Lunch and Marlene Dietrich, she is a mythical space age enchantress who evokes a world and era far, far from the maddening "X Factor"' crowds.

Hypnotique is also a leading light of the electronic oddity that is the theremin - the first electronic musical instrument. Stepping far beyond the sci-fi clichés, her virtuoso ability to tame this wildest of all instruments has taken her to the teaching salon of acclaimed thereminist Lydia Kavina, performances with Gong offshoot band Zorch and the Radio Science Orchestra to entertaining the glitterati at Damien Hirst's 'Pharmacy' restaurant. She has governed an almost mainstream popularisation with TV appearances on Channel 4's The Paul O'Grady Show (where she firmly told O'Grady and Lotto host Eamon Holmes "you lack discipline"), BBC2's James May's 20th Century and late night Channel 5 as a regular guest on House of Astonishment. She's also produced sound installations for art galleries, given theremin workshops for children (at the request of TV presenter Ian Wright) and presented her own radio show on early electronic music, Switched On, on London's experimental platform Resonance FM. Hypnotique embraces all aspects of her life as part of her work - from tacky television to confrontational fringe theatre, she aims to subvert or stimulate the media deep from within.

As a 'classically-trained-turned-avant-garde-mutated' multi-instrumental musician, she has collaborated and performed with numerous artists including post rock terrorists Nought, Ostalgie aficionados Heist, space rock shoegazers Flowers of Hell and collaborates on current song-writing and recording projects with industrial micro ensemble Babyslave and Scottish surrealists Dawn of the Replicants - for whom her 'Germanic Dominatrix' husky voice has graced several albums. Her musical projects have taken her from the stages of Glastonbury to the electro-acoustic workshops of BEAST, and from the BBC Studios of Herr John Peel to the darkened homelands of Berlin, East Germany, Belgium and Switzerland.
