She began her vocal career as a child singer with the Coloma Girls' School Choir, one of the largest school choirs in Southern England. Choral activities included regular sell-out concerts at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon, international singing tours and regular recordings of the children's programmes Singing Together and Time and Tune for BBC Radio.

After graduating with honours in linguistic science, Tullamore lived in Tokyo, Japan, working in live and studio singing and voice-over work before moving to Paris, France in 1995.

From 1995 to 1998 she sang with the Jazzberries, a female jazz vocal trio featuring Peggy Connelly and Wendy Taylor.[2] The trio performed at major clubs and festivals throughout France.

In 1999 she sang the title role in the musical Pocahontas at Disneyland Resort Paris. In 2003 she participated in the original cast recording of Blanche Neige (Snow White) staged at the Folies Bergère.
