With her roots in choral and vocal harmony ensembles, Alex Van den Broek (AVDB) is a versatile vocalist, arranger, choral director and singer-songwriter based in Brisbane.
How would you describe what you do to a non-arts friend?
I studied music at university, but honestly my work as a vocal arranger stemmed from messing around with different ways of singing songs as a teenager. I’d pick out notes and vocal harmonies from songs that I liked and then would find ways of reimagining them into something new and beautiful.
