When Zoe Jennings went to a festival as a 3-year-old she told her mum she wanted to be a singer. Now, 14 years later, she is trying to raise funds to get vocal coaching from the same woman who coached New Zealand music sensation Lorde.
The 17-year-old has started a
Spark Potential project, which works like Givealittle, enabling New Zealanders to collect donations towards their goal.
Miss Jennings' goal is to raise $10,000 to have a year's worth of vocal coaching with Frances Dickinson, who has worked with Lorde and Ruby Frost.
"Singing is my passion - I've always wanted a career in singing," she said. "Frances is really knowledgeable about the voice and how it works. When she was younger she didn't know how to use her voice and that's kind the same as me."
Miss Jennings loves alternative pop and folk and has been involved in a range of singing activities from choir to talent shows - she even wrote the Ngunguru Primary School song.
