Rosanna Hewson is in her second year at NASDA in Christchurch,
studying singing, dancing and acting. She also moonlights at
weekends as a children's entertainer as a singing fairy!
Her goal is to be a successful songwriter and cabaret/theatre
artist and to star on Broadway.
Rosanna's main inspiration is her mother, an opera singer and
musical theatre teacher who has been coaching her since she was
five and encouraged her to busk from the age of nine.
"I am fun, exciting and quirky and bring something new to NZGT,"
she says.
"I have a unique style and passion for performance and love to
pump out big and high notes. Opera and musical theatre are too over
looked in New Zealand. I want to bring them to the foreground with
the talent I have to share."
Rosanna enjoys standing out from the crowd by dressing daily in
imported 'Lolita' fashion a cult fashion subculture hailing from
Japan, based on Victorian and Rococo costumes.
"I just love all the frills and bows. I've been dressing obscurely
most of my life," she says.
She's also a big fan of Japanese cartoon phenomena Anime. If she
wins NZGT a trip to the Land of the Rising Sun is high on her
bucket list.
