Journey to Broadway for Aaliyah

Hi, I'm Aaliyah and if you've known me for a long time I have always LOVED music, especially singing. I've had a rough run with music for awhile now and I was at a point where I was ready to throw my voice, my music all away. I've dipped my toes in singing at church, to a school choir that toured Europe, to being a recording artist, and being a professional shower singer. But I've always had a love for musicals, and never ever did I think, that I would ever get an opportunity to dip my twinkle toes into musical theatre. But alas, here I am.

I had an amazing opportunity to attend Broadway Dreams in New Zealand earlier this year and there, I had something unlock for me. A chance to sing, to be on a stage and to be me. I never knew I could sing the way I did during that program, nor did I believe that I even had it in me.

As the months have passed since Broadway Dreams NZ, I have been working on my vocals and working on becoming stronger so that I could really give myself a real chance. I have been blessed to have been accepted to recieve an Internship with the Broadway Dreams Intensive in ATLANTA, Georgia in June 2019.

I will be travelling with two other incredible kiwis, (One being my crazy, talented cousin and the other my musical theatre sister) and I am extremely excited about this opportunity. But with such late notice, am needing some help towards getting there.

This is an unbelievably fantastic opportunity for the three of us to meet and work with some of Broadway's leading professionals. This has been a dream for me, and I am so excited to make this journey, especially with family and friends. The trip is this coming June, and I know there is very little time left, but I appreciate any form of support/help.

This one is for you Nanny <3 xx
