QUOTES

“Singing in close harmony with my family and church community was a way of life. It was something you just did every Sunday.”

“After I finished a business degree, the only thing I could do to have gainful employment based on the training was to be a bookkeeper. But I’d already done that for 3 years as a part time job. It wasn’t interesting to me. So instead I studied for a Master of Music.”

“There was no job lined up for you coming out of music school, but I adamantly chose not to be a music teacher.”

“I got the job (in a bank) and thought it would solve everything. But it didn’t. It was really difficult to come to terms with making the wholesale change. In my heart of hearts I was still a performer and the reality of the situation had not caught up with me. I just didn’t believe it. I perhaps thought I would go back.”

“I have all of these things to pull experience from. People don’t necessarily want advice from people who haven’t felt that themselves”

“It’s liberating when you  find yourself, and let go of who you think you should be.”
