With a love of writing as a form of escapism from the sleepiness of my hometown of Adelaide (South Australia), and music a shared passion among my culturally diverse family, I found myself immersed in Jazz classics like Abbey Lincoln's Abbey is Blue (1959) and Cassandra Wilson's Blue Light 'Til Dawn (1993) from a young age. These two albums gave me insights into the depths that music could easily move into, both written and musically.
As a freelance writer and music/theatre critic with over twenty years experience, I have been fortunate enough to review and interview artists from all around the world such as Lady Miss Kier (Deee-Lite), Dianne Reeves, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Cassandra Wilson and Angelique Kidjo. As well as many local Australian artists such as Kate Ceberano, Wendy Matthews and the late Renée Geyer amongst others.
I am here to share my experiences and love of music with those all over the world and ensure that the music is always heard.
100% agree. I have always said that "Live music is the truth teller for what a REAL artist is." Melissa has it all. One of the best shows I have been to.
Thank you for sharing. I went to Siromet on Saturday, 20, 2024, and it poured rain, but he was the next level. He is an awesome amazing showman, so beautiful his voice is still there at 67 years old, bless him forever.
