About
Hey guys, jingi wallah!* Welcome to my website.
The reason I wanted to create this website is because I want to share experiences, ideas and things about my singing career.
My name is Laly Bigeard, I am half French and half Australian! I live in Byron Bay, Australia with my parents. My singing started when I was just a baby and my mum would lay me on a blanket and play with me while we listened to a song. I would listen to the song and use baby noises instead of humming. When I got a little bit older I used to learn the words to songs I liked and sing in the car, shower and I would also sing myself to sleep sometimes!
My mum plays piano and my dad is a guitarist and I once made up a song which he played guitar along with. And on Christmas, I performed that song to my mum. I was very nervous and scared but brave at the same time. I kept on performing in front of my parents and kept on singing while brushing my teeth, in the shower or at bedtime! I would like to thank my incredible singing teacher Zaynab Wilson for helping me become braver when singing and for helping me with my very first single. Stars is out now and you can find it on Apple music and Spotify!
*Jingi Wallah means hello & welcome in Arakwal, the language of the people of Bundjalung Country, where I live!

ANIMAL ACTIVIST:
Since I was a baby I’ve always loved animals.
I had three chickens when I was very young and I loved them very much and would have tea parties with them in our garden. I had another one after those three but I can’t quite remember her and had 2 chickens just about three years ago. But now I only have one bunny, a boy named Kombucha who I love very very much! Ever since I was a baby I’ve been fascinated with creatures of all species and sizes. My mum used to take me to the dog park when we used to live in Sydney when I was a baby so that I could be amongst all the puppies and dogs. I’ve had many puppy friends since I was little: Thika, Lily, Luna, Falcor, Zeke, Oskar, Otis, Raya, Muchacho, Tess, Chilli and so many more! Anytime I came across injured or unwell insects like moths, butterflies, crickets, cicadas, dragonflies etc, I’d care for them until they felt well again.

When I lived in Sydney me and my friends started a bee club. We found bees that were not well, needed water and sometimes we would take them in as pets. They never stung us surprisingly even when holding them. Sometimes we would even sneak out of class just so we could check on our bee friends.
In Sydney I also wanted to adopt a koala from Port Macquarie Koala Hospital since the terrible bushfires in 2019 since they are one of my favourite animals. Adopting a koala means that you donate money towards helping it get better to be released back into the wild. When I adopted Anwen the koala and told my friends, they wanted to adopt one too so we did: We set up a stall selling orange juice and got just enough money to adopt one. Another one of my friends wanted to adopt one too so we set up a stall and sold ornaments we made, bracelets and other stuff that was all a jumble. So far I have adopted four koalas and I think that’s pretty good but I hope to adopt more in the future!
You can donate now to many animal hospitals and wildlife centres today to help animals such as the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital! Still to this day I love animals more than anything and hope that everyone can learn to love them like me!
We have some great local wildlife sanctuaries and carers that we love too:
