Grace interviews Avionce Hoyles, a talented musical theatre and TV performer known for his tribute to Tina Turner named ‘Dear Tina’ and his role in the Award winning Titanique the Musical in NYC. As well as his appearances in FBI Most wanted on NBC and Orange is the new Black on Netflix… They discuss the essence of Tina's music, how she reinvented herself as an artist at the age of of 50, and the soulful, gospel vocal techniques that Avionce employs. Grace even has a (rather pathetic) go at imitating it! Throughout, Avionce emphasises the importance of alignment, personal rituals, and the journey of finding one's path in the music industry.
