I've got a special rare duo gig coming up in July in Melbourne with pianist @nathanliowpiano on Friday 22 July 8.00pm-9.30pm @temporubato_au. Link in bio.
Over two sets, Nathan and I will perform some of our original works, and genre-blurred interpretations of music by Theo Bleckmann, Gian Slater/Will Poskitt, Kurt Elling and Rufus Wainwright.
Nathan will be playing the incredible 102-key Stuart & Sons concert grand piano, and synthesisers. I'll be singing, augmenting with live electronic effects and looping along the journey. I'd love to see you there.

Bookthought of the day: musician edition. I don't have to be perfect for my audience. All I need is to be present in the magic of music, to be afforded the privilege of learning new things about myself in the good grace of my audience.

Dear friends, colleagues & family, Today I offici

Dear friends, colleagues & family,
Today I officially open the doors of my private singing teaching studio, The Voice Dojo!
Beginning in 2018 in New York, I’ve been (re)training my voice with Jeanie LoVetri and her powerful method Somatic Voicework™.
Through this work I’ve found a vocal freedom, coordination, power and connection I’d never dreamed of – but something I’d searched for high and low in the decade since completing my music degree.
Since then, I’ve undertaken LoVetri’s teacher training courses several times, as well as her professional development workshops. My study was initially focused entirely on my own vocal development, but now I am inspired to share this with other singers in their own journeys.
The Voice Dojo lessons are currently online via Zoom, but should open the doors to in-person training sometime next year too (Omicron pending!)
You can book via the website’s contact form. And I’m offering a special of 4 lessons for the price of 3 – oh what great timing for holiday gifts!
Check out the website for details on my approach, or please get in touch anytime.
