Roles
Principal · Artist Development · Performance Coach · Casting Director
Hello, I'm Fabienne. I'm a singer, songwriter, performer and coach, and the founder of Bonnaire Arts Education & Training. I've been lucky enough to spend my career on both sides of the work: making my own music, and helping other artists make theirs.
Over the years I've coached students who've gone on to perform in West End productions like The Lion King, Matilda and Nine Night. That matters to me, but what matters more is the human in front of me. My sessions are honest, encouraging and never one-size-fits-all.
I'm also the Principal of PQA Wallington & Sutton, the academy where my own love for performing started. Coming full circle to lead it is one of the joys of my week, and a reminder that the right teacher at the right moment can change everything.
