Sophie Morgan – Singer, Songwriter & Recording Artist
Sophie Morgan was just 6 years old when she joined Presto Music School to learn piano. She later added drum lessons, and through our music theory and composition courses discovered a real passion for songwriting.
Since leaving Presto, Sophie has gone on to build an exciting career as a singer, songwriter and recording artist, touring across the UK and Europe and releasing a number of acclaimed EPs and singles.
More recently, Sophie has reinvented herself under the artist name Luvcat, creating a bold and cinematic pop sound that has been gaining serious attention. Her early releases quickly built momentum online and in the music press, helping her establish a distinctive artistic identity.
A huge milestone came with the release of Luvcat’s debut album Vicious Delicious, following an incredible period of writing, recording and touring. Along the way she has performed at major international events including BST Hyde Park supporting Sabrina Carpenter across the sold-out weekend, and the Montreux Jazz Festival Spotlight Stage, sharing her music with audiences around the world.
We are incredibly proud to have been part of Sophie’s early musical journey and can’t wait to see where her talent takes her next.
Harlee Sudworth – Platinum selling single ‘Lonely’
Ex vocal student, Harlee, was a student with Presto Music vocal coach Lori Holland. She went on to fulfil her dream of becoming a recording artist and she has smashed it! Achieving chart success alongside Joel Corry with the Platinum selling single, Lonely. What an achievement! Harlee is going from strength to strength and has recently collaborated with James Hype on the single ‘Afraid’, which is also on track for chart success.
Sophie Morgan was just 6 years old when she joined Presto Music to learn the piano. She went on to have drum lessons and following her composition and theory course with us, she discovered her flair for songwriting. Since leaving Presto Sophie has toured the UK and Europe with 3 stunning EPs and several beautiful singles under her belt. We can’t wait to see what she does next.
Mike (Emmerson) Collins – Music Producer and Keyboard & Piano Tutor at Presto Music
Many more ex-students have set about carving a career in the music industry or gone on to be tutors – sharing their knowledge and inspiring others. We are so proud to have played a part in helping all our students to achieve amazing things.
My tutor David and the Presto Team have believed in me every step of the way. Doing the theory course in particular made me realise just how far I could take my passion for music. I would love to be a music producer and write scores for film.
