Hi there! I’m bernie (she/her)
I live and perform on Yuggera Turrbal Country.
I’m so happy you’re here!

Welcome to my corner of the universe, where creativity, authenticity, and compassion with a touch of wry humour and an abundance of music reign supreme.

I’m a proud queer singer, songwriter, storyteller, writer, and performer based in Brisbane. My passion lies in helping mature-aged creatives find joy, connection, and inspiration through music and storytelling.

From heartfelt ballads and folk melodies to vibrant musical theatre and jazz standards, I love to perform songs that resonate with the soul. I immerse myself in the rich world of jazz, uncovering a deep passion for the timeless standards and the beautiful stories they tell about love, hope, loss, and life.

I frequently perform at Meanjin (Brisbane) venues like the Brisbane Jazz Club, Can You Keep A Secret (CYKAS), It’s Still a Secret (ISAS), and The Bearded Lady, where I engage audiences with my songs and stories.

One of my most exciting projects is "Square One: The Journey to bernie," a one-woman show I’ll perform as part of the 2024 Melt Open Festival in October and November at PIP Theatre. I’m thrilled and honoured to be taking up an artist residency there. This show reflects my journey as a shy, closeted teen and young adult living through the Sir Joe era to the proud Queer woman taking centre stage today. It’s also an invitation for you to join me in celebrating the beauty of self-expression and resilience.

I am not just a singer; I’m an honest storyteller, and I live to create cabaret-style performances with the heart of helping my audience forget their troubles, feel connected, and enjoy life.

I believe in living life to the fullest and creating an environment where others can do the same. So, come along on this journey with me. Let’s embrace our passions, silence our inner critics, and find joy in every moment.

Better late than never, I suppose!
