Phoebe Aston — London vocal coach and singer-songwriter, founder of Sound & Soul Studio

A singer-songwriter who teaches from the inside out

I'm a London-based singer-songwriter whose music blends soul, R&B and contemporary pop, driven by honest songwriting, rich vocals and emotional storytelling. Influenced by artists including Amy Winehouse, YEBBA, Adele and John Legend, my music explores themes of love, resilience, self-discovery and the complexities of human emotion.

Having performed across London and the South East, including supporting acclaimed artists such as The Lottery Winners and Chris Helme, that same performing experience shapes how I teach: every lesson is built on real technique I use myself, not theory alone.

I have 5 years of teaching experience and hold an up-to-date enhanced DBS certificate — documentation is available to parents and schools on request. See our safeguarding page for full details on how I run lessons with children.

I coach adults, children and schools across South West London and Surrey, in person and online, through vocal coaching for adults and singing lessons for children.

My method: Find Your Voice Path — Listen, Build, Express, Share

Every lesson follows the same four stages, whether you're 8 or 58. It keeps progress honest and steady instead of chasing quick tricks.

Listen

We start by listening — to your voice, your goals and what's holding you back. For a nervous adult beginner, that might mean simply finding a comfortable note before anything else.

Build

Technique work tailored to what we heard: breath support, tone and range exercises. A child preparing for a school show might spend a session just on breath control games.

Express

Technique becomes music. An adult working on a wedding song will apply new breath control directly to their chosen piece, phrase by phrase.

Share

Performance-ready confidence — for an exam, audition, gig or family singalong. We rehearse the moment of sharing, not just the notes.
