Songbird

Covers Musician from Auckland
6 YEARS VETERAN

I am a 44 year old female Ziwi - from Zimbabwe, I have lived in New Zealand since 2002.
I sang professionally (for my bread & butter) in 5 piece covers bands & as a successful duo (I did all the vocals) from 1991 until I came to NZ in 2002. We did gigs in clubs, pubs, RSA's, some studio work & Christmas events, but specialised in weddings, birthday parties & New Years Gigs due to the versatility of our style 70's, 80's, 90's & early 2000's.
I did some vocal work when I came to NZ, in studios & the odd public gig whilst trying to find a male vocalist/guitarist, but as an unknown musician with no idea of the Auckland market, 2 young children & no family support, I put my singing on the back burner & got a 'regular' job that paid the bills.
My kids are now 19 & 23 (I will be 45 at the end of February - scary!!), & I realise how much I miss singing. I am happily re-married & have a good day job but would love to start gigging again as I feel like part of me is missing. I love singing & interacting with people, & like most of us, a bit of extra income from gigging will be enjoyable too.
I would love to work with a 70's, 80's, 90's plus covers band, so If you need an experienced (slightly more mature) female lead vocalist who can also do backing & play the tambourine, then please get in touch. I live in East Auckland & work in Greenlane but for the right group I am happy to travel within reason :-)
