Apprentice hairdresser Sally Chatfield wants to inspire other young performers. Singled out by a music teacher after hearing her big, powerful voice, Sally immersed herself in singing. It has been a part of Sally’s life since she was seven years old - although there is footage of her singing at age two.
It helped her cope with the bullying she endured at school, growing up in Lakes Entrance in Victoria. “I love the community, but my teenage years were hard. Singing helped me escape..” Her main musical influences is the relatively unknown Jonny Craig - “He’s an alternative artist from a band called Emarosia.” Her inspiration in life: “My family. They’ve always believed in me, but have never pressured me.
They’re my biggest fans.” It was her family who encouraged her to audition for The X Factor. “I hadn’t sung for about two years and I really missed it. I thought ‘I don’t want to get older and regret not having tried to do anything with my singing’.” Of her mentor Natalie, Sally says: “She’s beautiful, inside and out. She really cares about you and it’s easy to relate to her.” Sally is looking forward to the live shows . “I want to be singing up there for as long as I can.”
