In a few years time I wanna be a pro singer/songwriter/dancer/guitarist. I Like a mix of styles, but my favourite is urban RnB. I keep busy doing singing lessons, guitar, dance & keyboards too ('cos I want to be an allround performer). I model for camera experience & great exposure, & money to buy my music equipment.....And although I'm shy on the inside, I love performing to huge crowds - the stadiums are my favourite. I love songwriting, and all the different facets of my personality keep my songs real and true to who I am. I've had some great singing gigs so far including runner up on Australia's Got Talent 2008 (an amazing experience), singing the National Anthem at the 2006 NAB Cup Grand Final at AAMI stadium in front of 40,000+ people (that was awesome), Victorian Finalist in Australian Idol 2005 jnr competition, plus The Australian/Chinese adult singing championships (I was the guest artist in Melbourne & Sydney and got to do a full set (for Asian t.v.). I've been on several TV shows, kids shows, Jaanz Live, Inside Idol on Channel 10, Australia's Got Talent on Channel 7, & I've sung many times interstate. Federation Square for Yooralla, Plus on ABC radio, SBS radio, Joy FM radio, MixFM 106.5. I've sung at weddings, restaurants, festivals, community events, schools, fashion shows, car shows, competitions, Beat Magazine, Leader Newspapers, The Age, The Australian, Chinese Newspapers, TV Week etc. & more...... In 2008 I'll be performing for the Thai and Chinese Communities in Melbourne and Australia, for the ALP, Yooralla and other events to be announced. ***Keep checking my site for details of performances*** N-E-X-T -- I'm going to continue to focus more and more on developing my skills and my own style to a world class level, and learning to write quality music and songs. I'm always experimenting with different sounds to give my music more depth. Got 2 mix it up... I want to keep in touch with current music trends, and play with those styles, so my music is right up to date when I start to make albums.....(I hope to do my heritage proud (I'm a mix of Thai/Chinese/Hungarian/English/Irish) and so I hope to perform in Australia, Asia, UK and USA (everywhere)........................STAY TUNED........................ I'M ALWAYS CHANGING, IMPROVING AND EVOLVING............................********Also, keep an eye out for my band with my school mates "Urban Zoo" -www.myspace.com/urbanzoo123******** Hi to all my friends. Luv u all, keep doing what u luv doing. Keep following your dreams, and believing in yourselves. Keep balance in your life (all music and no life isn't good either - 'cos its the other stuff you do in life that gives the inspiration to your music). --- And to all - keep nice, stay true to you and ignore people who put you down-they are so uncool... TO QUOTE MARIAH CAREY - "Don't you let others put you down, you keep believing, thats how you make things happen"..................I also luv hanging with my friends, and being silly and just being 13. .........And to my vocal coaches David & Lynn Jaanz and guitar Lucas Michalidis & Richie Brain and music Jane Barnes and keyboards and dance Arch & Vince. Thanks so much for your talent... .... ......

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/30/2007
Band Website: jourdain.com.au
Band Members: JOURDAIN - (on lead vocals, electric guitar & songwriting)
Influences: My sound is all my own, but I am influenced mainly by American Musicians such as Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Usher, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, George Benson, Earth Wind & Fire, Carlos Santana, Brian McKnight, James Morrison, John Mayer, Mark Cohn. And all performers that live for that huge crowd! I LOVE THAT CROWD! - On guitar I aim to sound even a little like Carlos Santana (that would be awesome). Vocally, my aim is to sound original - mixing the styles of my idols. In dance I learn hip hop, and would like to incorporate this into some of my original songs (like J.T. does). I write my own songs. - So stay tuned, hopefully when all my training comes together, you'll like the total package and the diversity in my performances, cos you'll see a real mix of singing styles, guitar, keyboard and dance. "Jourdain". Also, I'm influenced by everyday people and my friends.
Sounds Like: I sound like JOURDAIN. - I want to be an allrounder/versatile/original/timeless. Still working on my style, my words, my sound... - still young - got time...
