Pinksta + Band in Gold Coast, QLD

SEEKING

ABOUT

Looking to join a duet/ trio or band.

I am a vocalist, soloist & lyricist (Pinksta) that performs 4 genres including covers (Reggae, soul funk, blues and Afro pop).
As a soloist, I am looking to join a 2ND band/ trio/duet that share love for music, have fun and join people who do not have an ego, people who are respectful and mature. I am also a lead vocalist for a known local band ( Swaussyfire) that comes together when no session commitments of each individual are on the way given that most members play in 1-2 bands. We are regulars at community -inclusive festivals, Home of the Arts (HOTA) Gold Coast, Mount Gravatt Marketta and perform at private functions.

As a culturally diverse and inclusive band, we share passion for fun music, we write our own songs, we cover other songs, perform the above genres with commitment to respecting difference, love people and have interest in African pop music, the old style happy soul -blues and reggae tone music.
