Hitting the high notes for life under the sea

When Australian soprano Jassy Husk learnt that 80 per cent of corals in some areas of Australia's Great Barrier Reef was destroyed in 2016 due to heat stress, she imagined how she would feel if a large portion of the city she lived in was obliterated.

That thought drove the 37-year-old singer to start making music in support of marine conservation. Husk, who is from Tasmania, has lived in Singapore for the past three years and teaches vocal technique and performance part-time at the Yale-NUS College.

WOMEN MAKING WAVES

Poised and armed with ready answers during our interview, soprano Jassy Husk projects the persona of a stage diva. After all, singing has dominated most of her life. When she was six, the Australian-born and Singapore-based soprano decided that she would be a professional singer and informed her parents, who were not musically trained, of her decision.

Unlike most young children, Jassy didn’t lose interest in her chosen path nor did she ever think about doing something else. Single-minded in her quest to hone her passion into a craft – the 37-year-old who went as far as to say she didn’t have any other interests when asked early in the interview – overcame challenges like temporary loss of hearing due to childhood tonsillitis. She blazed through singing classes and children’s choir in Tasmania where she grew up, the Conservatorium of Music at The University of Tasmania and later, the Royal College of Music in London.
