Twelve of the Central Coast’s best young singers will take the stage in the Discovered Grand Final on Friday, October 14, with locals invited to come down and support the young talent.
Celebrating its milestone 10th series, Central Coast Council’s Discovered professional development program for singers aged 7-24 has attracted over 600 entrants since it began in 2011.
Many of these participants have gone on to pursue a successful career in the music industry.
The 2022 Discovered Grand Finalists range in age from 10 to 24 and include Ehryn Bala, Natasha Moyle, Mia Gordon, Sunrise Michelle, Alana Hedges, Julien Droguett, Sybella McKay, Meghan Grace, Haylee Dwyer and Ben Seymour.
There are also two wildcard finalists as voted by the community – Trinity Ffitch and Jade Warburton.
Participants will compete for their share of an impressive prize pool, plus recording studio time, a vocal scholarship and professional development opportunities.
The Grand Final will include performances from special guests and previous Discovered winners Riley Lovell and Kelly Griffin (performing as ELASKIA), as well as the Discovered Voices Youth Choir.
It will be held at The Hub Erina Youth Entertainment Venue, Erina, with doors open from 5.30pm.
Discovered is supported by Central Coast music industry personalities and entities including Gina Jeffreys (GJW Workshops), Rod McCormack (The Music Cellar Studio), Linda Wareham (Maheraw Music) and Musicians Making A Difference (MMAD).
