My name is Laly Bigeard, I am half French and half Australian, and I was born on the 14th of February 2012, my current age is ten years old. I live in Byron Bay, Australia with my parents and my bunny, Kombucha. 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, bath, and I would also sing myself to sleep.

My dad is a guitarist and I once made up a song which he played guitar along with. And on mothers day or my mum’s birthday I can’t quite remember which one, 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 and I still do that now. And just this year for my tenth birthday I got a professional karaoke machine which I was so excited about, and when my friends came over for my sleepover birthday party we sang into the microphone and applauded each other and were not scared at all. 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. Don’t miss the release of my first song which will most likely be coming out this year!
