Stonefoxx performed over 100 live gigs, picked up a BT Award for best new talent and were chosen to launch console game, “Battle of the Bands” for Nintendo Wii. After performing to 100,000 people across twelve nights on a national arena tour, featured by BBC News as one to watch, selected twice as Song of the Day by Popjustice, and raved about by Yahoo! music, Songpeople.com and pretty much every pop blog worth reading…Stonefoxx came to an end.
At the end of 2009 Gem launched a hot new Showcase Event, LiVE GEMS giving up coming artists the chance to perform in exclusive London venues. In July 2011 LiVE GEMS were honoured to perform the Grand Opening of Save The Children’s ‘BIGGEST BAND’ Event at WEMBLEY ARENA!!
2011 also saw the opening of Gem’s next project: PopGems Academy, ‘The UK’s newest training academy tailored specifically towards training you to become a pop star, recording artist and actor just like your idols!’ Having already experienced so much herself over the years, Gem thought how amazing it would be to have all the training opportunities in one place, including classes by professionals currently working in the industry, and offer that opportunity to others.
2012 Gem is currently an official body model for Megastar Katy Perry , modelling for Channel 4‘s Big Fat Gypsy Weddings and singing with CK Gospel Choir at Wembley Arena in relation to the 2012 Olympics
