The Diva That Ate New York // Singing

Singing and I go way back. I am definitely an old school singer. I love a well crafted tune the singing of which brings up emotions in the listener and the singer too —songs that touch a nerve or a funny bone or make the hair stand on the back of your neck.

The hunger down under

Arriving in Australia, Jackie decided she’d come to a quasi-paradise.

“I was frightened a bit in the early days. I originally arrived in Far North Queensland. Rain forests. The Great Barrier Reef. Visually stunning, but the ‘sticks’ food-wise.”
