about
Thando is an evocative singer songwriter raised in the suburbs of Canberra. After relocating to Melbourne in 2011, she's has fronted Dub Reggae outfit Echo Drama and played in Sol Nation with members of Painters and Dockers and the Dili Allstars. She has set out to create a live show that pulls audiences in and leaves them wanting more. Her onstage presence is "worth the ticket price just to witness the soaring voice and audacious performance" - Herbert, Herald Sun. Audiences can expect modern soul and R&B mixed with raw funk, heavy bass lines and a three-piece backing vocal ensemble. Citing Jill Scott and Alicia Keys as major influences, Thando's electronic take on R&B ballads compliment "evocative song writing that has placed her in a league all her own," - Ms Hennesey Speaks Blog. From releasing her single "Won’t You Be Mine", touring the East Coast, making her professional theatre debut as Effie White in StageArt’s Dreamgirls and ushering the new year with a show for Multicultural Arts Victoria’s NYE celebrations at Federation Square to more than 100,000 Melbournians, Thando finally released her long awaited release of her debut EP Digital Love Letters in June 2016.
