Melody’s Melody’s, The Solstice of 4 Seasons
I have been singing since I could talk and love to listen to and sing music of many genres. I volunteer doing singing music therapy programs in nursing homes and hospitals.
I started learning to sing pop music at the age of 5 and then learnt classical and opera from the age of 10 years. I was in a gospel group called Harmony in worship and we put out a cd, I have a song on spotify I helped compose and sing and I have performed all over the world as a solo artist and in harmony groups and choirs.
I also collect music on Vinyl and cd’s and also love attending music concerts And I have sang on community radio shows etc and my next goal is to have my own radio program with Nambucca Valley community radio station.
