SEEKING
Band to Join, Accordion, Upright bass, Fiddle.ABOUT
I began vocal training four years ago and have been taught using a variety of singing techniques. I have experience of working with cover and function bands as both a lead and backing vocalist. I perform with my own country band with whom I sing lead vocals and also perform some backing vocals on some recordings. I also act as the main songwriter.
While at the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM) I was involved with music related extracurricular activities such as a class called Pro Vocals for degree vocal students. This allowed me to experience an array of vocal arrangements, which were often acapella, working with a varying size of vocal groups with close harmonies and honing my skills in sight singing. I also gained basic keyboard skills to assist me in my singing teaching and am beginning to learn guitar. At ACM I was educated in music theory and also gained much experience in arranging and re-arranging music.
I have experience performing in a number of functions bands as both a lead and backing vocalist. I have also gained much exposure to session and studio work as a lead and backing vocalist in many musical styles.
