“My mind is a circus and my heart is open”, is how Alex describes what is behind her prolific songwriting, which started when she was just ten years old. Live performances commenced almost simultaneously.

Whilst Jazmin’s friends at the age of five were out playing with dolls and toys, Jazmin was busy singing in front of a mirror pretending she was an accomplished singer/song writer. She has continued on with the dream of one day becoming famous.
Engaging in professional vocal, guitar and keyboard lessons, and at the age of seven she had her first performance with the “Carry on Guides”. She has since then stayed with them performing annually in their variety show, singing, dancing and acting. Jazmin was a member of the Australian Youth Choir for 3 years and regularly performs at the Gawler Show and Northern Sound System (recently visited by the young Royals) and actively participates in the school band and choir.
Jazmin’s passion for the love of music is clearly defined in her writing style, expressing feelings of love through to affairs of the world. It’s an exciting time for Jazmin as she continues her studies at St Columba College and performing her original material at every opportunity that arises. No doubt Jazmin’s road ahead is full of excitement and that dream of one day becoming famous will flourish.

 Laurissa Boyle

Thankyou for the opportunity to be involved in such a worthy cause today, Laurissa Boyle is a 12 year old primary school student who began singing at the age of 10. After the loss of her beloved grandfather, to help with the grieving process, Laurissa started to sing his favourite song, it was only then, her family heard her sing for the first time and were amazed at how rich, velvety and mature she sounded! A few months later, she was enrolled in ETI music school and from there she seem to flourish!
At just 10 years of age, she entered Adelaide’s Next Superstar and made it through to the grand final, singing in front of about 1500 people at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, winning the $500 encouragement award. She has since entered the royal Adelaide show singing comp making it to a finalist two years in a row, securing equal 3rd place winner this year!
Laurissa was chosen last year by Hockey SA, after seeing her on youtube, to perform the national anthem at the Grandmasters Women’s Championships Hockey ceremony. Laurissa has also had the honour of singing at the Gawler Christmas Carols for the last two years, alongside Wes Carr, then Rachel Leahcar. Laurissa has started guitar lessons at ETI, which she is loving! More recently, she secured herself a Performing Arts half scholarship at Trinity College Gawler, which she hopes will help further her musical ability.
Laurissa feels blessed to have been given so many musical opportunities at such a young age, including singing in open mic finals, relay for life fundraiser, the Gawler show opening ceremony, weddings and birthdays. She is involved in a fundraiser this weekend singing with well known bands to be held on Sunday at the Bridgeway Tavern. Her biggest honour, to date would be, being chosen, to represent ETI, alongside two other students, to perform at the Northern Sound System, for the Royal couple, Will and Kate! She is looking forward to continuing her musical journey, recording her music and hopefully one day, begin to write her own songs!
