BIO... Meet the girls!
VANESSA KNIGHT
Fresh from her success on BBC One's The Voice UK in 2015, Vanessa formed the band, after always having had a huge passion for music, especially soul. Vanessa began singing at the tender age of 7, and went on to study performing arts, and has since worked all over the world performing as a vocalist, including; working as a blue coat in Devon, fronting various bands over the years, including Norfolk's very own Northern Soul tribute act "The Soft Tone Needles", taking part as a contestant in The Voice UK 2015 on team Rita and performing as frequent guest vocalist in Wild Boys 80s Band all over the world, including working with Royal Caribbean cruise ships, and some major UK events too. Residing in Cambridgeshire, Vanessa is an avid dog lover and enjoys reading and cooking when she is not up on stage performing!
KYLIE ABLETT
Ever since a young age, Kylie began learning classical ballet, and her love and passion for dance has shone through. Kylie’s second home has always been the stage and she has frequently appeared in musical productions and dance performances. However, it wasn’t until she was 13 that Kylie realised her true potential behind a microphone, adding yet another string to her bow. From the school choir, to singing with the Salvation Army brass band, Kylie has now settled into the genre best suited to her voice. An out-going and confident personality, her style is heavily influenced by the greats of the 60s soul era, so it’s no surprise that Kylie’s voice is well-suited to music of The Fascinettes.
TINA COLES
Quiet, shy and unassuming, Tina is a born entertainer! Tina has always had the ability to captivate an audience - whether it be acting in school plays and musicals, singing in the local church choir or performing a variety of popular dance styles. Motown and Northern Soul provided the musical backdrop to her formative years and this has had an obvious influence in shaping her range and tastes. After making numerous appearances for local groups as special guest vocalist, Tina has more recently found her love for dance again by taking up contemporary and classical ballet and had her first recital earlier this year. Tina’s real passion though, is, and always will be, singing. So, it seems only fitting that she gets to join her friends on stage performing her love of Motown chartbusters for audiences to appreciate and enjoy.
