Hello! I am a singer, a vocal coach and a voice therapist. As a vocal coach my goal is to provide a functional, personalized method for the whole person. I believe that voice work should be for all people, no matter the status, the natural ability, the level of career or the age. I am dedicated to nurturing, not only exceptional and holistic vocal skills, but also the individuality of each voice. By empowering clients to acquire the tools they need to maintain their own voice and shape their own unique sounds, I aim to make the joy of self-discovery and expression fun and understandable, while fostering confident voice use that contributes to a rich tapestry of empowered voice users.

I have been in pursuit of understanding voice, and ultimately how it intersects with speech and language, most of my life. I pursued music and drama during most of my formative years in Australia. I cut my teeth singing in rock bands around Sydney as a teenager. I attended the Sydney Conservatorium of Music shortly after High School for a brief stint before traveling the world. I explored Egypt, Zimbabwe, Europe and The United States before moving to California to study music and ultimately work in the music and entertainment industry as a singer.

At UCLA, I studied Jazz, Songwriting, Film Scoring, and Music Business, mostly through the Extension Studies program. During this time I honed my songwriting skills and recorded a lot of demos. I worked with Lis Lewis to improve my vocal technique and then through her initial encouragement, also started to coach. While cutting my teeth as a new vocal coach, I continued to write and record and after much experiment, I released my first album, Sponge Brain. This was followed by Sometime In Morning and then a Live at Largo, a self released Bootleg taken from recordings from a residency over one year at the famed LA establishment. Alongside these releases, I worked with my cousin Antonio Gambale under the name Jumeaux, to write a collection of songs for the book series The Immortal Nicholas Flamel for my good friend Michael Scott. I then formed a harmony trio called The Amber, which then became a duo called RLLS which is still active with Ryland Shelton. As a session singer I’ve worked with Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star), Kate Ceberano, Smash Mouth, was Grammy Nominated for my work with Gustavo Galindo on Universal, sang on Curious George “Boo!”, The Tonight Show, and much more.

A desire to study more scientific aspects of voice led me to U.C. Berkeley to study linguistics. My honors thesis analyzed the relationship between speech and singing in aging voice. I was guided by Dr. Keith Johnson and Dr. Susan Lin. This then led me to complete a Masters in Speech, Language and Communication Sciences. I completed my clinical fellowship with The Wellness Group for Voice Speech and Swallowing in Oregon. I still sing and release music, but I spend most of my time as a CCM voice coach seeing singers everywhere. I still occasionally work as a vocal producer/arranger (a true passion of mine) and love to continue to explore voice pathology for local clients as a voice based SLP.

My vocal method, Singuistics was launched in 2023 in Sydney. I see clients all over the world from the United States, Australia, England, Japan, Pakistan and Europe.
