Hi - I'm Hazardigrl, I'm a singer/songwriter/performer. I live in Australia, in the the National Capital of Australia, Canberra.
I'm 24, soon to be 25, on the 20th of April.
I suffer from Cerebral Palsy, but i don't let that stop me from doing what i love to do MUSIC!
I have been writing my own songs since the age of 12. I have been having professional singing lessons for 7 years, but started singing much earlier. (around the house -singing along to cds etc).
I started having lessons not only because I love to sing and music in general, but also because when i was in having physio therapy treatment one day, talking about the fact that i had for years i'd had trouble breathing due to premature under developed lungs.
i also because of the CP am affected around the throat, tongue etc.
The physio explained that if I started singing, that it would help to increase my lung capacity, thus stretching and strengthing the muscles.
She said that it would also help the muscles around my throat area etc, by keeping them stretched and strengthened also.
Since then I say singing has done just that. i has also enabled me to prove to people that i can do what i love to do. (my music).
Alot of people that out there said that because of the fact that i was disabled and in a wheelchair, that i wouldn't be able to make it out ther within the industry - well - I PROVED THEM WRONG!
I have a lot of friends around me within home town Canberra Australia - that support me, that see me for who I am and don't see my CP as a hinderace.
I also have my own band, who I peform with regularly too. I have performed at places around town, and hoping that with the help and support of my friends to one day play interstate.
One Place that I really really love is a place called Rose Cottage Country Park. They have live music right throughout the year, mainly on saturdays and sundays and sometimes fridays. If you wanna know more please feel free to visit their site
(www.rosecottage.net.au)
I also have my own website (build from scratch by me). I also have a myspace site as well.
I also to help me gain more knowledge and experience other areas of the industry including radio and TV, am currently studying through home correspondance a course called - certificate 3 in news and media. So far, every assignment that i've completed i've achieved an A GRADE result.
I have also achieved a modelling diploma, a child care certificate etc.
I also play guitar too. I have a baby taylor guitar. Its pic is on my site. I due to the fact that throughout last year was in and out of hospital for surgery on my back, haven't played for 12 months, but when I well enough, my band mates will be helping me to regain my knowledge and confidence with my guitar. I call my guitar - MY BABY.

Welcome Hazardgirl! Yours is an inspiring story, and I wish you all the best in your pursuits. I would like to ask though, are you actually a fan of Brett Garsed?

What made you think that probably wasn't a fan?
Just the fact that there was no mention at all of Brett in your introduction. Unfortunately this forum attracts its fair share of spam and 'self-promoters' who don't care at all about Brett or his music, and I tend to view such things with a jaundiced eye. Sorry!
