RoXi
(Frontwoman: Lead & Backing Vocals)
A dynamic versatile and expressive vocalist, Roxi has appeared in venues throughout the UK, Europe and the USA as solo artist and frontwoman for a variety of duo's, trio's and bands including Don't Panic and Blulix. With appearances on Radio & TV, her powerful, versatile range and raunchy style has been likened to such artists as Janis Joplin, Etta James and Stevie Nicks. From the gruff growl sliding into mellow sexy tones through to stratospheric notes, Roxi was born to sing the blues!

Brief History
Starting from an early age with fellow dance class mates supporting Sooty, Sweep & Harry H. Corbett, Roxi spent her school years learning drama, music, guitar, songwriting and performing as a soloist in the choir. Since then Roxi has worked in every aspect of the music business from pre-production to publicity, voice overs to consultancy, but it is her versatile voice and dynamic performances that bring audiences back for more!
A car accident in 2001 meant an enforced break from the scene, so with the exception of a few select shows, she turned her efforts into creating a formidable online presence with Vocalist.org.uk (the largest singers resource on the internet!) and ElectricBluesClub.co.uk the musicians internet resource. Needless to say she also designed and maintains the Blue Cats website ;-)
