Belinda Adams
' BelindaAdams  - biography 

'..a singer’s singer.   ..'
  Belinda is a singer/songwriter who captivates her audience with the kind of heartfelt singing and stage presence of someone beyond her years.
Her powerful yet soothing style combined with a gusto performance takes her audience through all styles of song - versatility is Belinda’s trademark.

The beginning...
   She put on a pair of tights and taps at the age of 5 and studied modern dance and tap for the next 7 years. This was followed by a vocal rendition of 'Crazy for you' by Madonna at her 6th grade primary school concert. Her performance was so well received, her parents put her straight into singing lessons as it was obvious this was Belinda’s true love.
Over a decade of extensive vocal training followed with one of Australia’s leading vocal tutors, Mr Neil Williams O.A.

Through the years..
.
   During this time, her teacher gave her a piece of advice she would never forget. “Try everything at least once in your career and do it with devotion and eagerness!
She did just that and found a great enthusiasm for recording.
While she now calls the studio her second home as she has become a 'veteran' session singer, and performed on various albums (Award winning singer, songwriter, producer Stewart Peters, solo, The Beanie Kids, Soundtrack Album, Motion picture songwriter Nikko, solo and her own debut album) her live performances are her passion - combining movement, acting skills, amazing vocals along with a delightful sense of humour - audiences sit up and listen.
At 18, Belinda joined a vocal trio called 'Emerald Hush' playing the club circuit singing hits from the 50’s through to the 80’s.

A short time later...
   She took an interest in theatre and performed in various musical productions for the Parramatta Theatre Company. This is when a love of music from the 40’s and 50’s became evident to her.
If you happen to catch Belinda performing live today, this era of song is quite evident in her repertoire. But versatile she is.....

   Moving into a different area, Belinda began working with various charities including such companies as the Variety Club of Australia, the Cancer Council and Club Speranza (the prevention of youth suicide) providing musical entertainment, even traveling to the outback to sing over the CB Radio for the students of School of the Air.
   Again changing direction, Belinda auditioned and received the part of principal vocalist in the international floor show  Cabaret Revue traveling to Atami City, Japan and completed a 6 month contract. She learnt a little Japanese whilst there.

On her return...
   Not being one to rest, Belinda took over as Lead vocalist in the international Cabaret/Rock band The Family Von Trapp who were later nominated for an Ace Award (Australian Club Entertainment Award) for Best Variety Show Band. There she remained for three and a half years studying during the day at College and completing Certificates I and II in a Music Industry Skills & Management Diploma course.
This is where Belinda found an interest in writing original material.
   She wrote various songs and followed this with a debut performance of her material at Darling Harbour Amphitheatre for the FAT-Fresh Aussie Talent showcase for Famelink.com which was sponsored by Mp3.com and 96.9FM. One of her originals, 'Adios Farewell' is currently receiving airplay.

   Deciding to then go solo, Belinda started up her own business aptly naming it Vocalartistry Ltd working freelance. This included hosting children’s shows, jingles/voiceovers, resident compering, band & duo/trio fill-ins, corporate events (Parramatta National Rugby League Corp, Rosehill Racecourse, Denlo Group, BMW) television and radio performances on the Midday Show, 2DayFM and Ground Zero (Ugly Phil 104.1FM), 89.9FM, 96.1FM (promotion for Famelink.com), 1269AM.
She also made an appearance with renowned vocal tutor/singer/songwriter Shauna Jensen at the Food and Wine Festival 2001 in Sydney.   

Currently...
   Belinda is currently working the Club circuit nationally in her own solo cabaret style show. In a very short time this has earned Belinda nominations in Best Female Vocal& Best New Talent in 2003/2004 with a win in the Best New Talent category 2004.
   She was a finalist in one of Sydney’s premier cabaret events, the Sydney Cabaret Convention of 2001.
Belinda also teaches vocal techniques at the Tammy Worth Academy of Dance & Arts in Castle Hill and also gives private tuition.
