Alexandra Ayoob + Musician in Fitzroy, VIC

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am looking for fellow music lovers who aim to marry the brilliance of old soul with ethnic influence and the technological possibilities of today. I am a jazz and R&B singer who was classically trained. I am interested in all types of music though and hope to explore and experiment. I am flexible. I speak English and French but have experience singing also in Arabic, Spanish, German, and Italian. Music is my passion and I want to work and create with others who also have contagious, passionate energy. My most prized possession is my 160GB iPod Classic that accompanies me everywhere.

When living in America, I sang the National Anthem over 350 times in a variety of public venues. Dignitaries in attendance have included President Barack Obama, President Bill Clinton, General Chuck Yeager, and Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine. I was the youngest ever featured soloist with the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra in their Broadway Pops series. I also worked as lead vocals with the West Virginia University Jazz Ensemble.
