Trumpet player, piano player and music graduate from the University of Southampton (2.1) who has also worked as a Primary Music Graduate Assistant at British International School Ho Chi Minh City. Here, she taught music across all age groups in primary and secondary school, specialising in teaching EYFS music.
With Tomorrow's Warriors Female Frontline, she has played at venues such as Pizza Express Jazz Club, Cadogan Hall (supporting Monty Alexander) and headlining The Jazz Cafe with guest players, Dennis Rollins and James Morton. They have played at festivals such as Love Supreme, Ealing Jazz Festival and We Out Here, where Laetitia also played with singer/songwriter Jelly Cleaver (guitarist of Female Frontline). Ongoing musical projects are blossoming from the branches formed by the group, one of which is the All Day Breakfast Cafe.
Deeply interested in music from other cultures, Laetitia plays with Mariachi Las Adelitas - an all-female Mariachi band! Thriving in an all female environment, she loves the resilience that Adelita women symbolise and she enjoys the variety in performances: playing in schools for World Culture Day, to playing Salma Hayek's birthday at 5 Hertford Street. They have played at many members' clubs such as Annabel's and The Landsdowne Club. Laetitia was excited to return to The Camden Roundhouse to play at Lucha Libre and her particular favourite performances are Mexican celebratory dates such as Cinco de Mayo and Dia de los Muertos.
Laetitia also plays with Kinetika Bloco, performing at Ronnie Scott's 60th Anniversary Street Party and supporting Hot 8 Brass Band at The Camden Roundhouse. She often participates in short-term projects such as workshops held by The Third Orchestra and the (Im)Possibilities Creative Learning Ensemble, who have performed at the EFG London Jazz Festival on numerous occasions. She attends many masterclasses led by trumpet players such as Laura Jurd and Kevin Robinson.
