Zannah
Weaving her soul into song, Zannah (Susanna O’Leary) is an award winning songstress who wears her heart on her sleeve and draws her audience in with her commanding world vocal style and powerful melodies. Introspective by nature Susanna writes music reflective of her own life experiences and perspective on love, loss, hurt, passion and everything in between. Unable to be boxed into one genre, her musical style reflects her contemporary training, Colombian heritage and exploration into Persian, Flamenco and Irish vocal styles.
Cameron De La Vega
Qsong awards (Australia) nominee and Vanda and Young International Song Competition finalist (Worldwide), Camaron has played guitar for many years gathering broad experience
in all styles leading him to specialise in Flamenco and Jazz. He has performed concerts all over the world and has recorded 2 albums of his own music. Combining the deep groove and rhythmic intricacy of Flamenco with the harmony and phrasing of Jazz and improvised music, he is constantly searching for those moments that bring the magic to the audience through his guitar.
