Biography
Whilst other kids her age may be listening to the likes of Katy Perry and Beyonce, April prefers veteran performers such as Bette Midler and Aretha Franklin and drawing inspiration not only from their voices, but their stage presence.

Her vocal talents were first discovered by her neighbours who heard her singing in the shower and alerted her parents to the budding songstress in their bathroom. The second youngest in a noisy, very musical family of six children, it seemed that they had just found their singer! April's eldest sister Cesira is lead guitarist in Triple J indie band Jungle Giants and her brother Ken plays the drums.

April started taking singing lessons after she entered and won a competition at the age of 10. She is currently getting as much onstage experience as she can, all leading up to the biggest performance of her career.
