There are many people who have helped me through my
professional journey - people who believe in me and who have
given freely of their time, support and advice and to whom I owe
a debt of gratitude. I hope to acknowledge at least some of you
here.
|
|
Beverley Peart (see her biography on this
site) and Michaela Lucas, my singing teachers. Michaela was a
student of Beverley's and when she moved on to go to Europe and
pursue her own career, I went to her teacher. Without their
technical guidance and advice, I wouldn't be here!
|
A huge debt of thanks to Audius Mtawarira and Jamie Huber of The Sound Academy,
for their faith in my talent. My trip to Sydney studio was truly something I
will never forget. You looked out for me and made me feel very privileged to
be in the company of such talented and dynamic people with a love for their music.
|
Jim Murphy, for putting this website
together. Like so many others I know, Jim does so much for others
and never asks for anything in return. Thank you for the time you
have spent in putting together this website and many of the
promotional resources that go with it.
|
Stephen Perkins has been especially
important in helping Mum to be with me, by running errands, being
a "gopher" and "beck n call man" whenever something needs to be
done - however trivial.
|
Jeff Dykes and Aussie Kanck for their wonderful photographic skills and for
helping me put together my first promotional shots.
|
Nigel Jones (Karma) who has helped
put the demo tracks together and who has been so encouraging.
Nigel is a man of extraordinary patience and a special talent for
working with young people. Above all he has a generous
spirit.
|
Young Australia Productions for
their creative marketing ideas. What talented
visionaries!
|
Yuri Joakimidis, The Hon Peter
Lewis, John Abbott, Gabriel Owen and countless other supporters
who have frequently watched my performances and cheered me on
from the very beginning.
|
Northern Light Theatre Company and
Pelican Productions, for teaching me the finer art of performing.
They do so much on so little!
|
Mr Bruce Raymond and the organisers
and sponsors of The Advertiser/Adelaide City Council Carols by Candlelight 2006, for
giving me the most amazing experience of performing in front of
such a wonderful audience. It was a truly magical night I will
never forget.
|
Kate Lara and the Cabaret
Café for providing opportunities for young people to
perform and be seen in Adelaide.
|
Finally, a huge "Thank You!" to my
fans... many complete strangers who have been so kind and
generous with words of encouragement and support.
|
| I love you all! |
