Hi,
I was very glad to read your mail as we are in the same shoe.

I am just moving to Shanghai on 14th August following my boyfriend who is going to work there. I left my country one month ago in the hope of also being able to make music elsewhere.
I am a professional vocalist having Jazz Education and graduated in 2003 in Hungary, Budapest.
I call myself "active" as I had been actively playing till June.
I am experienced in mainstream and acid jazz, but mainly I played latin jazz with an interesting instrument arrangement with "cymbalom". I also sang funky and soul, but my strong side is acid jazz, ballads and in latin, bossa, samba, bolero and i would say mostly all of them.
I am very open to new styles and I already miss making music so much!
I would prefer something semi or profi approach, but I do not want to sound too picky and self-conceited!
I can also play the piano but I never do it on stage, I am not a pianist. (so why mentioning it, it may help...)
I am looking forward to an answer!
Violetta
