I'm a classical singer (mezzo soprano) and completed a Bachelor of Music (Vocal Performance) at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in 2018. I have a passion for opera, classical, musical theatre, and classical crossover with contemporary music which makes me suitable for both traditional and more modern settings. I sing for parties, dinners, weddings, corporate events and funerals. I've sung on Studio 10 in 2019 and 2023 and shared my story with the Australian Women's Weekly and ABC News. In 2022 I was the cabaret support act for Bill Bailey's "En Route to Normal" shows at State Theatre and received 2 grants from Creative Australia to tour my one woman show "OCDiva" around NSW venues.

Duncan's Birthday Party in Longueville, Apr 2024

Yasmin is a true gem in the world of opera. Despite her youth, her voice resonates with a maturity and strength that is utterly captivating. Witnessing her performance was not just an experience; it was a profound journey of emotions that left a lasting impression on both me and my family. From the moment Yasmin stepped onto the stage, it was evident that we were in the presence of something extraordinary. Her voice, a powerful yet delicate instrument, filled the auditorium with a warmth and richness that stirred the soul. But it wasn't just the technical mastery that impressed us; it was the raw emotion that she poured into every note, leaving us spellbound and moved to tears. In particular, Yasmin's rendition of [mention a specific piece] was nothing short of breathtaking. The sheer beauty and vulnerability of her performance touched something deep within us, evoking a sense of longing and nostalgia that brought tears to my mother's eyes. It was a moment of pure magic, made even more special by the thoughtfulness of my son to arrange such a meaningful gift for her birthday. Indeed, moments like these are what make life truly precious. Yasmin's performance served as a poignant reminder of the importance of cherishing our loved ones and celebrating them in meaningful ways. In a world filled with noise and distractions, it's these moments of connection and beauty that remind us of what truly matters. Yasmin is not just a remarkable talent; she is a gift to all who have the privilege of hearing her sing. Her voice has the power to uplift and inspire, to heal and to comfort. If you have the opportunity to experience her brilliance firsthand, seize it with both hands. It's an experience you won't soon forget. Bravo, Yasmin! And thank you for making my mother's birthday unforgettable.
