Georgia Mae Bishop is mezzo-soprano currently based in Brighton, UK hailing from a family of jazz musicians in Jersey, Channel Islands.
Praised by Opera Magazine as ‘a performer with a strong vocal personality and stage presence’, Georgia’s passion for story telling has recently seen her creative practice expand into writing and creating new theatrical works alongside performing.
