Musician and creative research scholar Dr Amanda Roff lives on the traditional lands of the Taungurung people in Nagambie, Central Victoria, and the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation in Naarm/Melbourne. She completed her Honours at the University of California Berkeley, and she holds a PhD in English and Creative Writing from La Trobe University. Her thesis focused on metaphysical aspects of music and performance through re-interpretation of Greek myth.
Amanda is a member of post-punk outfit Harmony and is principal lyricist and vocalist for shadowy pop group Time for Dreams. Both bands have been long listed for the Australian Music Prize. She has sung backing vocals for bands including The Drones and Don Walker.
In this conversation, Amanda talks about being plagued by self-doubt and how she bolsters herself through an interior process to arrive at a place of confidence and integrity.
She shares her own investigations into the mystery of singing and how it is possible for anyone to access its magic and power.
We HEART Amanda Roff.
