Aisling Trafford

I'm Ais!

I'm a vivacious and versatile vocal coach based in North Somerset/Bristol.
I'm a professional musician & vocal coach. As well as singing and playing keys in two original & actively touring projects, Ekhidna & Sans Froid, I also offer 1:1 vocal coaching sessions for all abilities.

I’ve been performing live since I was 11 years old, it all started with playing hometown pub shows with my dad on guitar and has led to the “pinch me” worthy 10,000 cap festival stages I’m lucky enough to play on now.

My teaching began during lockdown, when live shows came to a halt. I have a BA Hons degree in Music and decided to finally start implementing it when the world slowed down.
Additionally to my honours degree in music, I also have Grade 8 vocals & Grade 6 piano (Rock School Certification).


A vast amount of my experience is in performing, session singing, coaching, touring and recording. Whilst it’s difficult to narrow influence down to just a handful, my main influences are: Bjork, Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone, Beyonce, Tori Amos, FKA Twigs, Goldfrapp, Kate Bush, Punch Brothers, Mike Patton, Mew, King Crimson, Erykah Badu, Alicia Keys.

With special interest in helping to develop your:
Improvisation
Harmony
Rhythm
Melody
Pitching
Mic techniques
Empowerment
Songwriting
Recording

I offer 30 minute weekly sessions or 45 minute bi-weekly sessions which can take place in my home studio, remote (online) or from your home! Whichever you’d prefer.

I look forward to singing with you!
