Hello! I'm a Melbourne based vocalist. I've been singing since I was knee high &amp; started out at Johnny Young Talent Time School - Ohh yeah! I figured it's about time I make something of all those years of singing lessons & my passion for belting out a tune. I'm looking to collaborate with anyone &amp; everyone willing. The time is now! &lt;3 Hit me up ;)
