Meet Hollie

Hey! I’m Hollie, a vocal tutor at The Music Nook.

When I was eight, singing along to the radio in the car, I turned to my mum and said I that I love to sing and that it’s what I want to do. Next thing I know, I was having singing lessons, and the year after that, I performed in my first show. From that moment I have fallen more and more in love with music: singing, dancing and performing has been my life. Music has made up my being, who I am, and is my greatest passion. 

Many people know me as the girl who sings and performs in musicals. The question I’m often asked is “what’s your next musical?” 

I’ve had 10 years of lessons and training in singing from various teachers, including Mary Mirtschin, and have performed in over 30 stage shows since 2015. I completed VCE Music Performance (Repertoire) in 2023. In early 2024, I had the amazing opportunity to sing on Broadway in New York City, performing in Manhattan Concert Productions’ “Children of Eden,” thanks to Class Act Productions.

Singing has had its ups and downs for me over the years, but luckily I have a mum who knew that singing and performing is what I am meant to do and would never let me quit. I am so grateful to her for this as I’ve continued to grow, learn and express myself through singing and performing. Music gave me a place of belonging, a supportive and uplifting community who helped me to grow - a place with the best role models for a little girl. To this day, I strive to be someone that younger performers can look up to.

Five facts about me:

  1. I am currently in my second year of my Bachelor of Nursing.

  2. I love musicals! The first musical I ever saw was Cats, and I’m in rehearsals for my tenth Class Act Production.

  3. I have many pets. Dog, cat, goats, lizards, and a budgie 

  4. I grew up in a sport family and thought I was going to be a swimmer and surf-lifesaver like my mother as a kid.

  5. For my 18th birthday, I went sky diving, jumping 20 thousand feet out of a plane!
