The dark history of high voices

2:46

so that they

2:46

wouldn't lose the ability to sing very,

2:48

very high. And it was done because there

2:51

was a prohibition on women singing in

2:52

church. So, there's a dark side to it,

2:55

but fortunately, all that stopped, and

2:58

now we have the countertenor voice,

3:00

which goes and sings a lot of that

3:02

music.

3:06

There are very, very few of us in the

3:09

world, and so they are in high demand.

3:13

2011 was my first professional gig on

3:16

stage, and then since then I've gone on

3:18

to do so many other things. I've sung at

3:21

the Barbican in London, England. I've

3:23

sung at the Philharmonie in Paris.

3:27

I've sung all over the world.

3:30

My life has been a story.

3:33

It's a dream that I could have never

3:34

imagined.

3:50

I'm a multi-dimensional person.

3:53

Therefore, my sound is

3:54

multi-dimensional. It has variations in

3:57

it.

3:58

I have roots in the church and I have

4:01

roots with hearing

4:03

beautiful jazz
