He graduated from MTU (formerly CIT) Cork School Of Music with First Class Honours BMus and MA Degrees, having achieved the award of Highest Placed Student for three consecutive years.

Having coached many business owners and accountants to get dramatic growth in their businesses, Jon realised many of his clients were introverts. We chatted specifically about how creative introverts (singers, vocal coaches, songwriters and artists) can get the best out of networking situations. Networking is a vital part of our work, but many of us feel extremely uncomfortable in these situations and often avoid them completely. But there are ways to get through it without a minimum amount of stress and discomfort. Jon shares some advice on how to do this. https://introvertinbusiness.co.uk

Rosie has been teaching and performing professionally for the last ten years. Rosie trained with the Vocal & Operatic Department at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire (First Class BMus Hons) and in Musical Theatre Performance at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts (PGDip, MA). Through training in these contrasting styles, Rosie became fascinated in how the voice worked and started studying vocal anatomy and physiology. Having tried yoga on and off, Rosie deepened her practice in 2014 and realised how much better her voice felt after each class. Not only did her body feel more free, but a different mindset and awareness of the breath and the body made such a difference to her singing. This led Rosie to become a Certified 500hr Yoga Teacher and start to focus on the body-voice connection. Through continued teaching, training and research, Rosie leads group workshops and lessons helping singers to really find and free their voice.

This month we celebrate 1 year of podcasting! Over 20 guests shared their time, knowledge, and experiences with us. We learned about vocal distortion, synesthesia, artist development, vocal styles and songwriting to list a few topics covered over the last 12 months. What started out as an Instagram live series, in which I began to challenge myself and start saying YES to my ideas and desires. It has helped me personally transcend a previous version of myself and move forward, bravely into the unknown. THANKS, from the bottom of my heart to every single person who listened in and supported the podcast over the last year. I do not get paid to make this podcast, in fact, I pay to make it.

I have enjoyed chatting with you all immensely. Very much looking forward to meeting a whole new set of people in the next year. NOTE: I'm making a small change to the pod in September. That is to put out an audio-only version. I love having the video format, but it does take up quite a few hours in total from the time of conception to the last edit and upload. I want to focus on college and every extra hour I have helps. I will still upload the audio to YouTube but you can listen on any of the usual podcast apps also.

Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which information meant to stimulate one of your senses stimulates several of your senses. Many well know artists such as Billie Eilish, Lorde and Kanye West are synesthetes. I chat to Sarah about her experience growing up with synesthesia and discuss some possible ways we as artists or coaches could take inspiration from this fascinating condition as well as how awareness of synesthesia can help individuals cope day to day. BIO “Sarah Grace is an American abstract synesthesia artist with a background in speech pathology and brain injury research. Sarah has a rare neural cross-wiring of the senses called auditory-visual synesthesia, which means that she has automatic experiences of colors, patterns, and textures when she hears sounds. She channels her synesthesia experiences into her artwork and creates custom paintings based on cherished songs, voices, and even animal noises. You can find her work at SeeingSoundsArt.com. Sarah also has a background in vocal and theatre performance and has always been fascinated by various forms of artistic expression. She and her partner Jackson, who also has a form of synesthesia, gained surprise viral interest on their TikTok platform, TastyWords.

Sive is a songwriter and musician who was recently dubbed 'one of the most inspiring and exciting artists of our time' by Female First UK. Combining haunting, multi-layered vocals with delicately woven musicality and an undeniable charm, Sive has carved a truly compelling style of alt-folk that is not afraid to differentiate from the norm. Sive first began to delve into songwriting when she was 15 and an old bandmate showed her some songs she had written. She thought to herself “Hmm, maybe I could do that too” and so off she went with a head full of excitement and an old tape recorder. When she finished school she went to Ballyfermot College to study music, but it was only really when she took part in an international bandcamp in Germany that she managed to pluck up the courage to front her own band (mainly because she didn't have a choice). After that she upped sticks to the Netherlands where she was awarded a scholarship and spent some time rehearsing, gigging and recording with some fellow music students. Since then she has been somewhat of a musical shapeshifter, and in 2014 she decided to pursue an MA in Community Music which has led her to develop a vibrant career as a music facilitator in community and healthcare settings around Kildare and Dublin. https://www.sivemusic.com/ My name is Rebekah Keogh and I am a vocalist, songwriter, voice coach and host of Eat Sleep Sing Repeat.
