The Line-up

Meet your White Collar Rockstars

Six Island professionals. Months of rehearsals with Jessica Lloyd and her band. One night on stage at the Radisson Blu Waterfront in aid of Jersey Children's Charity. Some of them have never sung in public before.

Kelly Gage, White Collar Rockstar contestant

Kelly Gage

Primary School Music Teacher

Kelly is swapping her primary school classroom for the rock-and-roll stage. As a passionate primary school music teacher and mother of two, she spends her days teaching children aged 4 to 11 alongside her trusty therapy dog, Rosie.

While she has always loved music, her singing experience has been kept to singing in a choir for fun and karaoke nights with her girls. Kelly is taking part in White Collar Rockstar to conquer her fear of stage performance whilst raising money for a wonderful local charity, with the support of her family and friends.

"I'm trading the karaoke microphone for a real rock stage. I am completely terrified but it's time to step out of my comfort zone and face my fear for a very worthwhile cause." Kelly Gage
Emma De La Mothe, White Collar Rockstar contestant

Emma De La Mothe

Senior Stylist, Coco Rose

Emma has been a hairdresser for 25 years and absolutely loves her job. She is currently working full time as a senior stylist at Coco Rose in St Peter's. No two days are the same in hairdressing, tending to a variety of clients with colours, cuts, perms, gents' styles and children's hair.

For the past 15 years, Emma spent her weekends running the karaoke nights at the Up and Down Bar, until it closed earlier this year. Music has always been in her blood. Her dad was a well-known singer in Jersey throughout the 80s and 90s, performing at L'Auberge, Wolf's Caves and hotels across the Island. He always joked that she was tone deaf, until the day she got up and proved him wrong, sparking a lifelong passion for singing. Sadly, following a stroke ten years ago, her dad is no longer able to sing himself.

With her karaoke nights behind her, Emma needed a new challenge and a new focus, and White Collar Rockstar is exactly that. She is stepping up to perform in front of a larger audience than ever before, all in aid of an amazing charity.

"Be like the bluebird who is never blue, for he knows from his upbringing what singing can do." Cole Porter, chosen by Emma
Lucy Casado-Martinez, White Collar Rockstar contestant

Lucy Casado-Martinez

Assistant Manager, Highvern

Trading fund accounting for the microphone, Lucy Casado-Martinez is an Assistant Manager at Highvern who never misses a chance to sing. With a history of performing that spans school shows, open mics and fan-favourite karaoke tracks, she is ready to bring her energy to the stage.

Lucy is performing to support Jersey Children's Charity, combining her love of music with a fantastic cause.

"Going from the desk to the stage seems daunting, but it's in aid of a great charity and I'm sure it'll be an incredible night for all." Lucy Casado-Martinez
Mark Godel, White Collar Rockstar contestant

Mark Godel

Partner, PKF Channel Islands

Mark is a Partner at PKF Channel Islands, stepping out from behind the numbers and onto the stage in support of Jersey Children's Charity.

"Taking part in White Collar Rockstar is exciting, slightly terrifying and a brilliant way to support an incredibly important local charity. Jersey Children's Charity does fantastic work for children and families across the Island, and if making myself look a little less like an accountant and a little more like a rock star helps raise funds, I'm very happy to give it a go." Mark Godel
Andrew Harte, White Collar Rockstar contestant

Andrew Harte

Accountant

Andrew is swapping the spreadsheets for the rock-and-roll stage. An accountant and a dad, he has always enjoyed singing, but has kept it to choir, musical theatre and the occasional karaoke night.

Andrew is taking part in White Collar Rockstar to raise money for a wonderful local charity, supporting Island children and families when they need it most.

"We're here for a good time, not a long time." Andrew Harte
Simon Di Meo, White Collar Rockstar contestant

Simon Di Meo

Finance, Property & Tech

Originally from Jersey, Simon has pursued a varied career in finance, property, tech and e-commerce. Seven years ago, whilst living in London, he joined a rock choir on a whim and loved the weekly buzz of singing in a group setting.

Having recently returned to the Island, Simon was missing singing and was looking for a group to get involved in, which is when he came across White Collar Rockstar. With limited solo singing experience, fronting a band certainly presents a scary but exciting challenge, but well worth the terror for such a wonderful charity.

"Sometimes in life you've got to do terrifying things, especially for a great cause!" Simon Di Meo

Our Work

Why take part...

Fundraising impact

Every contestant performance helps raise vital funds for children who require medical treatment on and off island. Your participation supports families who need urgent travel and accommodation for specialist care, along with prescription medication and essential medical items that are not always covered by the States.

Funds raised through White Collar Rockstar also help Jersey Children’s Charity continue supporting Robin Ward, providing comfort, care, and practical assistance during unexpected or difficult hospital stays. Every cheer from the audience, every donation raised, and every performance on the night directly contributes to a family facing one of the hardest moments of their lives.
