SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I've grown up being heavily influenced musically by my father who's been an entertainer/promoter in NZ. I started singing in pubs and clubs with him since I was 13. I love singing all styles of music all the way from the 50's through to current. I've been in multiple cover bands in the Wellington region. Motown band, 3 piece cover band, multiple reggae bands (covers and originals). I've been on the first aired NZ got talent show and made it to semi finals, and also made it to top 26 of the XFactor NZ in a group. I have also done a lot of session musician fills in bands needing a back up vocalist or lead.
