JUANITA TIPPINS

R&B, gospel and funk all feed into Juanita Tippins' voice, and it's a big one. She's a Sydney singer-songwriter who fronts her own original band, and her debut album is NITA Side A. Her experience includes performing for Ian Moss and Cold Chisel. On the night, expect soulful, powerful vocals and songs with real groove behind them. She'd suit a concert slot, a launch or a function where you want a singer to take the room over for a set, rather than sit in the background of it.
