Prepare to be enthralled by Melbournian pianist turned singer-songwriter Tomalia. The homegrown, alternative pop artist plays around with her humorous but dark sound as she immerses her audience in pop cabaret style stories. Using attitude and eerie comedy, Tomalia sings about being a young modern woman and explores the ugly side of love.
Tomalia has been a pianist and singer for as long as she could remember and uses her classical piano background combined with jazz harmony and snarky lyrics. Studying a Bachelor of Popular Music at Monash University, Tomalia finds inspiration from fierce female pianists and singers including Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, and Florence and the Machine. Using the piano as an extension of herself, Tomalia tells eerie stories through twisted pop power ballads. Her alternative sound along with her sassy and unsettling performance style aims to draw you in.
Not much can prepare you for Tomalia’s passive aggressive cabaret style performance. She will be releasing her new single ‘Stupid’ on the 18th November and performing her debut show at the Wesley Anne on the 17th November. So you best be there and paying attention… Or else…
