From professional musician to sound therapy, performance coaching and piano/vocal lessons, read about Kylie’s life in music

I’ve had a full career of 30 years, as a musician and have lived many dreams.

At 16 I was on the road with Australia’s first female Rock band ‘Peaches’, with a number one hit single, ‘Substitute’.

At 19,  I joined a 6 piece cover and artist backing band, ‘Transit’ , playing 80′s covers as keyboard player and vocalist, in Sydney , Australia. I was with Transit for 7 years , in my 20′s , while studying jazz, as well as studying for a Diploma in piano teaching (ATCL). During my late 20′s to mid 30′s I played solo piano/vocal, as well as with my own jazz trios in Sydneys’ 5 star hotels.

From 1995-2000 I travelled  the world , performing contracts , in 5 star hotel piano bars  and being paid for what I loved doing.
