This latest Fearless Singer episode is a tribute to the late great Tina Turner and the many reasons she was a living Saint. I’ve always been obsessed with her!  She was a part of the soundtrack of my childhood – I think most Australians have a soft spot, especially as The Best was constantly blaring from our TV sets with that enduring Rugby League ad. But I remember watching the biopic film made about Tina (Angela Bassett played her) when I was ten and remembered drawing inspiration from her life way back then. She was a phenomenon – a black woman born into poverty and systemic racism, a ..read more

Remember how I said the idea of playing the piano while singing scared me senseless? Well…. I DID IT! ??? I faced the fear and played and sang at the Brisbane Jazz Club – as a tribute to the late and great Tina Turner. Photographic evidence is attached to this blog.  I played ‘The Best’. And I made plenty of mistakes with my accompaniment but managed to comedically navigate them, which turned into somewhat of a journey for the audience to witness.  However, I had previously stumbled on a thought that got me through the performance. And that was: “If I forgive myself, then my a ..read more

But first… create a daily singing routine! What used to stop me from practicing my singing is not knowing what to do exactly. And to be completely honest, I went through my music degree not knowing how to structure my practice. This confusion led to a lot of self-doubting and a general sense of not trusting my voice, especially during a performance. The unsexy truth of building this instrument is that we need to exercise it daily. It’s the same as working out at the gym; we know that if we show up every day and do targeted exercises, we will yield all kinds of results. Our vocal muscles are ju ..read more

Do you ever want to ‘belt’ a song or even have access to different colours in your voice? There was a time only a few years ago when I felt like everything I sang sounded the same. I was primarily a jazz singer at the time – I’ve since ventured into soul, blues and country – and I had the same bright sound for every ??  single ?? jazz ?? standard. It was a pleasant sound – but it was quickly getting boring and making me doubt myself as a singer. It didn’t matter what vocal exercises I did; it never seemed to bridge into my song work.   When I learnt about primal s ..read more
