I’ve decided to put myself up for the Cabaret. Have posted my availability on the INSEAD Music Lovers’ Facebook group. If it happens, it happens. If not, I will just enjoy the show!
As a performer, my style is jazzy, which is why I believe I would best fit into that genre, although I can easily do pop and rock as well. I can sing too, having won a contest a few years ago, but am happy to let someone else take the limelight. Or it can simply be a three-piece band - it doesn’t have to be complicated. I am happy to play some latin jazz as well. I also do electronica provided we have a suitable keyboard.
I write and produce my own music in my home studio. I’ve led two jazz bands and played in two concerts held by my music school. Prior to that, as a classically-trained pianist (I finished Grade 8 but decided not to do the Diploma in Music as it clashed with my undergrad law studies) I also performed at various school concerts and various church events. As such I don’t get very jittery about such things and will focus more on playing my part in the band.
Also see my philosophy about how playing in a jazz band is how moderns teams should be working - having a framework we agree on yet allowing flexibility for each member to improvise freely, giving each other the chance to shine.
So, shall I be a performer or just a member of the audience? Any takers?
