In Episode 155, I speak with musician, singer, puppeteer, and children's entertainer, Jemma Armstrong. Jemma is a trained classical flute player? Her musical journey started when she was only 4 years old, in a leafy little town called Roleystone, Western Australia, where her brilliant parents gifted her opportunities to join theatre groups, dance classes and music schools. After completing a Bachelor of Music at the WA Academy of Performing Arts (the same campus as Hugh Jackman!) she has gone on to enjoy an endlessly vibrant and diverse career in children’s music, theatre and TV production. It hasn't always been smooth sailing, but with vision, passion, and persistent, jemma has overcome all barriers. Please enjoy jamming with Jemma with me.
Jemma trained as a classical flute player, but she realised, soon after a classmate hit her on the head with a flute, that it wasn't her jam. She has been passionate about music since the age of 4 years old, where her brilliant parents gifted her the opportunity to join theatre groups, dance classes and music schools. After completing a Bachelor of Music at the WA Academy of Performing Arts (the same campus as Hugh Jackman!) she has gone on to enjoy an endlessly vibrant and diverse career in children’s music, theatre and TV production. Some highlights so far:
Jemma is in the zone and is now on the verge of releasing her first album, and in fact share a snippet of one of her songs in this podcast. It hasn't always been smooth sailing for Jemma, and she has to deal with many obstacles on her journey, from doubt, fear, anxiety and a little thing called COVID. However, as you listen to her talk about how she transformed herself, you will be inspired by the passion that exudes from her, and there will be no doubt about the reason why she is and will be so successful.
