Related Themes: Off The Clock Did anyone ever give you any valuable advice about making your way in the music industry? What advice would you give to a woman musician just starting out? Yes i have been given lots of good advice.
I would say write, write write, play as much as possable. Do it yourself and don't wait for someone else. I say that from experience I think I would be more successful if i had known how important it was to build your fanbase and from the ground up. I was signed with major labels just before the change and I as advised to not play and let radio do the work..
Once you have an audience you have a career! For almost a decade my young parents Liz and Spike drove my sister and I, "The Bristow Sisters" all over the South Island to play country music competitions, rodeos, festivals. It was a very special childhood and an amazing grounding in music, playing and performing has never been a big career decision or life change, it has just been what I do and i have never stopped. What are your earliest childhood memories of music which really affected you.
Playing dress ups when I was about 7 at family friends and setting up a stage on the steps for our parents to watch Music always made me feel so happy and I was always singing. Also everyone on Sunday afternoon would go to our Nana and Grandads' in Balfour and Nana would play and sing the piano accordion and our uncles would recite poetry.
I had a very special childhood and an amazing grounding in music, I always had a big love and big passion to play and perform and it has never been a big career decision or change, it has just been who I am and what I do and i have never stopped. When you started on your music career were people around you supportive or did you have to find those people? The first song of yours which you really felt proud of was.
And why that one? I started writing songs as a teenager and even though I was at this stage a regular performer on stage, I was singing mostly country standards.
I was shy to share my personal feelings in my original songs, so I kept them secret and played them in private so I got no feedback on my songs and it was hard to gauge if they were good or not. This was the first song I played in public and recorded and it was the start to my songwriting and recording career.
Any one person you'd call a mentor, angel on your shoulder or invaluable fellow traveller? This would be my long time friend and music partner Mark Punch Mark has been a huge supporter in my life and music career. Mark was the first person to recognize I had songwriting talent and he encouraged me and has taught me so much about playing guitar, singing and performing. Like Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin and Bonnie Raitt, Jackie has created a body of work that will endure, recording with her long-time musical partner, Australian-born guitarist and producer Mark Punch, and writing finely shaded songs that are at once personal and universal.
You can tell she got the picture from learning the classics, and she put the lessons to good use. She dived into songwriting as a teenager, got a thorough grounding in the basics at a music school in New Zealand, and learned the business, making useful connections from the circuit. This prepared Jackie for the big move she made in , when she went to Sydney and, eventually, met Mark Punch, who had been playing in bands and writing songs around Sydney.
Some of Thirsty was recorded in Sydney and Nashville.
