About Barbara
Barbara’s experience in media started with her degree in Film & Creative Writing. She then worked in a mix of studio spaces, wrote interviews for music magazines, ran her own events (DJ’d too) & hosted her own radio shows. Winning a radio competition resulted in a role in TV, where she worked as a full-time producer/presenter and voice over artist for a daily talk show (Record TV). She progressed to producing The Chrissy B Show, as co producer & senior producer. Turning over 12 VTs & 3 live shows weekly; script writing & guest sourcing. Barbara has worked on a mix of TV shows airing on Sky, producing and presenting both in studio, gallery and on location.
She then left to set up her own platform OnTrax and continued to develop her skills alongside freelancing as an independent producer. Barbara has worked with some amazing artists and talented individuals whilst on this adventure, filming in UK, Central America, United States and Barcelona.
OnTrax has won 2 awards; the first for music video Oohs and Ahhs which Barbara collected in LA 2018 and the second during the pandemic from Lux Magazine. OnTrax has also had regular show content aired on a mix of TV channels including London Live (from 2017-2022) and also runs production workshops. More about this here.
Barbara aimed for OnTrax to be accessible to all, so that small charities and independent artists could also benefit from creative video production services.
She promotes creative development, self-belief, empowerment, and motivation maintenance via her media platform whilst mentoring and training via zoom and through workshops & on-shoot production training.
In her spare time from a young age, she loved to write poetry, song write & rap and wants others to have a positive outlet too.

Featured Video Production Work
Barbara’s vast expertise in video production has escalated over the years, whilst she worked as a producer/presenter with a camera operator/crew and editor but also self-shoots (on her Canon & has recently upgraded cameras so now has a 2 camera set up), interviews (off and on camera), films as a second camera operator as part of a crew and can rough-cut edit in Adobe Premier.
Barbara’s unique style of interviewing led to features in written magazines, video, TV (vox pox on the streets to studio sit-downs) radio and podcasts! She loves delving into deep conversation with the interviewees and creatives, teaching new tricks and to hopefully inspire the audience to be more positive in their lives and careers.
Featured Voice over Work
During the lockdowns, Barbara used the time to successfully develop her voice over work, which continues to grow, and she has an eclectic mix of clients promoting a vast range of topics such as TV/Radio/Podcast promo, entertainment apps, guided mediation, adverts for events, products and services to storytelling!
