Bands & Artists : Debra Manskey
siren writes"
Debra Manskey was born
into a musical family in South Australia. In fact,
for the first ten or twelve years of her life, Debra thought everyone lived in
a home where music was on the menu most nights of the week.
“Growing up, it was a
revelation for me to discover that some families didn’t play music together or
even own a musical instrument. We used
to sit around the kitchen table and just do it!
Looking back, it’s a gift I can’t thank my parents enough for.”
Her older brother Ivan was
a gifted jazz drummer and her father, Charles Manskey was a fine performer,
music teacher and multi-instrumentalist.
Making her debut at age 6, Debra got a taste for live performing very
early that hasn’t ever really left her.
Throughout her long
career, Debra has graced many concert stages and festivals across Australia, including Pt Fairy Folk Festival, Moomba, Cygnet
Folk Festival and Tasmania’s jewel, 10 Days on the Island. In recent years as a solo
performer she has also supported other outstanding artists such as The Stiff
Gins, Neil Murray, Sophie B Hawkins, Mick Thomas and the inimitable Dave
Graney.
One of the founding
members of Australian 80’s indie darlings Wild Pumpkins at Midnight, Debra’s
trademark, soaring vocals contributed to the Pumpkins’ 1990 ARIA award for
“This Machine is Made of People” (Best Independent Release).
Debra is also highly
regarded as an arts administrator and educator. She regularly conducts specialist workshops
for adults and children in voice, songwriting and music business competencies.
In 2006, Debra has
performed with Sophie B Hawkins, supported The Bat Band, conducted workshops on
King Island in western Bass
Strait and produced
‘Sampler’ – a live CD from The Pea***** Theatre which should be available
commercially in the later half of this year.
