Singer Biographies
Caitlin MacRae, alto
Who are you?
Caitlin, real life smartypants.
Member since...
1994 - it feels like the beginnings are shrouded in the mists of time. I swear I've been doing this my entire life.
I grew up in...
Ye Olde Victoria
When I grow up, I want to be...
Luckily for me, I'm already grown up. I can do fun things like cook my own food, clean my own clothes, and pay my own bills. But aside from those fun and exciting activities, I want to be a star - that's it! Bright lights! Fabulous clothes! Stylist! Personal Trainer! Personal Assistant - now we're talking.
I
like to eat...
Yes, that's true. It's been noted that I'm a good eater. Should I be concerned?
What’s the sound you most like to hear?
I like my personal soundscape to be as varied as possible. the soundtrack of my life would have a lot of eclectic music choices, birdsong, wind rushing by my ears as I ride my bike, you get the picture. It sounds a bit like one of those gentle nature sounds cds, but with a bit more Schubert, Britten and Cage (now there's a combo you can't currently buy in stores!)
What’s a sound that you love to make?
Hmmmm - humming. It's the only way I know of being able to tickle myself.
