Cape Town born Tracey began playing piano at the age of six, receiving formal musical education in high school, where she majored in music on both standard and higher grades. Tracey studied music (flute and piano) at the University of Cape Town before turning her hand to Pop/Rock music.

She joined her first band in 1981 and has been a professional musician since then. In 1985 her song-writing capabilities and rich, distinctive vocals caught the attention of record producers Tully McCully and Kevin Shirley respectively, and both seven singles received extensive airplay on radio and television. Her female duo, “Cat” enjoyed much success in the ‘80’s, playing a six- month residency at The Ambassador Hotel in Bantry Bay.

Her solo career from 1986-2003 has provided her with the opportunity to travel to China on two occasions, performing in Shanghai and Wenzhou on 3 month residency contracts in Five Star Hotels, being O’Malley’s Irish Pub and Grill in the Old French Concession district in Shanghai (2001) and The Victoria Grand Hotel in Wenzhou (2002) as well as completing extended residency contracts all over South Africa; the prestigious Fancourt Golf Estate (2000) in George and the highly popular Club Mykonos (1998/1999/2000) in Langebaan being amongst the most recent. Over the 23 years her career spans, she has worked in both Johannesburg and Cape Town extensively. In November 2003 she joined the five-piece dance-band Upstart, to fulfil a four-month contract in the Middle East, at The Intercontinental, Muscat, in Oman.

Since her return, Tracey has performed at The 12 Apostles Hotel, both in the Azure Restaurant and the elegant Leopard Room Bar, as well as at The Bay Hotel’s Tides Restaurant in Camps Bay and The Victoria and Alfred Hotel in The Waterfront.

Her distinctive “live” sound, comprising electric piano and vocals and enhanced by the subtle use of a rhythm unit, is equally at home in an intimate lounge/bar setting as in a busy restaurant and she has performed at numerous diverse functions, her most unusual to date being at a “Chef’s Table” function, where she played to a table of guests in a prominent local Hotel’s kitchen!

Tracey’s extensive, select and versatile repertoire ensures an evening of pleasant, easy listening.
