About Me


____________________________________________________________ _Welcome to myspace. Ok, so a little about me. Well, I am a Performer - Originally from Canberra now based in Sydney, I mostly work as a singer, as well as working in theatre, musicals and various acting and dancing gigs. I took time out early in the new year and teamed up with fellow performer and musical collaborator Kuki Tipoki working on material for our musical outfit The FNK PROJECT. I just finished performing in 'Fiddler on the Roof' in Auckland. And it feels so good to be home. Thanks for visiting myspace and feel free to stop by anytime.____________________________________________________ _________Do yourself a favour and go out and see a live band or show today. Peace F L !
