Tyna Gi hasn’t made her mind up yet, but she’s thinking she’ll serenade the judging panel with an Alicia Keys tune.
The Sunshine singer will enter Brimbank council’s Push Start talent competition, which is open to anyone aged 12 to 21 who lives, works, studies or socialises in the municipality.
There’s a chance to win a two-day recording session with Momo (aka DiaFrix), an Australian producer, songwriter and vocalist.
The winner will also advance to regional Push Start finals in November.
Ms Gi, 19, said she used to have formal singing lessons in year 9 but now just sings “every now and then”, performing on weekends at friends’ parties, gigs and even festivals including Multicultural Art Victoria’s Emerge festival.
“I’m the only singer in my family, but singing has always been a part of my life,” she says.
The recent event management graduate plans on working in the music industry.
Brimbank’s FReeZa Push Start talent competition is looking for poets, dancers, singers, bands and emcees. Applications are due before Friday, July 1.
