The last 5 years has seen a more concentrated focus on music, with Aston learning live music production and playing in a number of bands. When Aston met Gemma, it was a dream come true - finding a performance partner with a personality as big as hers, and shared passion for theatrical performance. The combination of Gemma's powerful lead vocals, with Aston's harmonies and one-man-band-style music production... their creative potential is endless. Together they explore every genre of music that may be called upon, incorporating acting, dancing and snazzy costumes to the standard live music performance. This duo is exciting, thrilling, and simply the perfect recipe for applying a theatrical and creative history to contemporary music.
