Oritse Williams(JLS) 10 Worlds Patron
10 Worlds UK provides vocal coaching for talented singers who are hoping to break into the music industry as recording artists. We offer training for all levels from complete beginners to intermediate and advanced level pop/rnb/soul & alternative vocalists. This year looks set to be a great year for 10 Worlds Music as we look forward to seeing some of our students begin to break into the music industry. Among them, artists such as solo male vocalist, Oli Wennink, who recently was invited to perform at The Abbey Road Studio Sessions for Absolute Radio, will be releasing his much awaited debut EP as he looks to build on his successes to date. Also female artist, Valentina (formerly of a girl group Vida, previously signed to O-Street Records) is now embarking on her development project as a solo artist with 10 Worlds Music, working in the 10 Worlds Studio with our in house production team.
Our Philosophy Indisputable talent, unwavering commitment, unshakeable self belief and a willingness to learn and to grow are the foundations of successful artist development. It is the artist's ability to find these qualities in themselves and to build on them in their own unique way that will decide whether or not they are able to realise eventual success.
Our vocal coaching programme covers: Foundations of singing Posture/alignment Eliminating tension Breathing/support Pitch/Ear training
Mastering technique
Foundations of performance
Diction Placement/tonality Singing in the facial mask Eliminating vocal breaks
Effortless power Vocal agility Interpretation/expression Developing style/presence
“Our job is to help you develop those qualities.”
I feel very lucky to have met Malcolm and to get to work with him. The best thing for me about his classes is that in each one I have a breakthrough with him, something new is unlocked, it may not always be a big breakthrough but the little ones too are so important. These breakthroughs give you great confidence in yourself and you see your progress and hear it each week but they also spur you on to work harder in all your spare time, excite you and deepen your connection to singing (and music as a whole).
Our aim is to help you
realise your dreams...”

Everyone may have the talent, but if you wish to be an exceptional vocalist you must have unfaltering dedication, confidence and be prepared to surpass all expectations. The only limits to your potential are the restrictions that you place there yourself. We have a capable team that can help you to break through your limitations and discover just what you are capable of. We aim to help you realise your potential, above and beyond what you think you may know about yourself and your ability. For the talented and willing student, all of this is possible..

Chris Potts
I am truly blessed to have met such an amazing vocal coach like Malcolm, he has helped me grow into the singer I am today and will only continue to help me grow to the best of my abilities. The greatest thing about every lesson is he helps me challenge my weakness which always makes me stronger and more confident in my craft. Malcolm has been a massive support throughout my music journey, a great listener as well as teacher. I am so grateful to be around someone with such experience and wisdom, I feel honoured to have his musical guidance. What I love most is even though I have learnt to understand my voice more, Malcolm would never allow you to lose what makes you special, your identity. Malcolm will get the best out of you and help you become the singer you want to be and greater.
Valentina - current student
Vocal Arranger
In addition to his artist marketing and tour management experience working in various major labels and top UK management companies which include Universal Music, Sony Records and management company Twenty First Artists. Chris is an outstanding vocalist in his own right and has been much in demand as an industry session vocalist. Having been through 3 vocal coaches without feeling inspired or seeing a significant improvement in my technique, I was almost ready to give up before Malcolm was recommended. A few months on I've broken down so many boundaries and my voice has really seen the benefits of his tuition style. The lessons are very relaxed, you're treated as both a student and a friend, and through Malcolm's great humour they can even lead to some good laughs along the way! He emphasises the importance of visualisation, something which I never expected to play such a significant role in singing and was cautiously sceptical about at first, but the impact this has made in my improvement has proved me wrong completely. I feel like I'm not far away from cracking the technique entirely which will allow me a freedom I never anticipated to be possible.
Among his various session vocal credits Chris has been a backing vocalist for Alexandra Burke, Beverly Knight, Ollie Murs, Russell Watson, and Gabriella Cilmi. And has recorded at Abbey Road Studios, Air Studios, Sarm Studios and Metropolis Studios for artists and producers such as Ollie Murs, Gabriella Cilmi, and Trevor Horn. Chris has performed at most major London venues including 02, Wembley Arena, Twickenham, Hammersmith Apollo and 02 Indigo as well as live and recorded TV appearances for a number of major artists on ITV, BBC and other TV networks.
