The Gospel Truth Choir - Choir Director Tracey Braithwaite

When Paul Leonard-Morgan decided to have a gospel choir sing at his wedding in 2007, there was one obvious person he turned to. Tracey Braithwaite was a long-time friend, and a singer who Paul had worked with in both sessions and with Glasgow legend Horse. She also had a reputation for being one of the best networked musicians in Scotland, so it took her no time to cobble together an outstanding array of talent for the big day. The Gospel Truth Choir was born.

Tracey has been a singer all of her life, and a profesional singer for over 20 years. She sang on a number one single in the UK dance charts (With the band Dansatak) before touring the UK for the first of many times, and was KT Tunstall's backing singer before the famous pedal took over (Tracey and KT are still good friends). She has performed across a wide selection of genres, from country to punk, and is known for her great soulful delivery.

She holds a HND in Modern Musicianship, and a B.A. in Applied Music (with a community specialism) and spends her time away from the choir as a vocal coach. She has worked extensively with a wide variety of students, including many who have gone on to vocal success (and some who now sing with the choir!). Tracey particularly enjoys taking her vocal and life skills into challenging situations, including spells working with HIV/AIDS patients, and children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

As Director of The Gospel Truth Choir, Tracey (or "Mama-T" as she's often known), is the driving force behind the choral performances of the choir, and leads all rehearsals and stage performances. She also works with clients, particularly in the wedding world, to seamlessly integrate the choir into those big events.
