Episode 19 - Tess Burrstone & Jimmy Walters (The Zoom Sessions)

This week I am joined by Tess Burrstone and Jimmy Walters. Both here to talk about their fantastic creative projects but also to talk about their attitude to all things fitness, weight loss and eating! 

Tess is a powerhouse singer with a wealth of credits and experience under her belt having performed with some of UK's biggest bands, groups and touring shows including Jay Z on Radio 1 Live Lounge, Michael Bolton on Strictly It Takes Two, Pixie Lott and Billy Ocean! Having performed all over the world in various forms she takes time to explain the impact on her work and her mental health! She is also here talking about her latest single 'We Can Have It All'! It's truly a summer banger and created in collaboration with the extraordinary sax talents of Brendan Mills!
