Singing Career
Lydia Denker started singing at an early age. At 11, she recorded an original song which she co-wrote with her father Herman Denker. She pursued her interest in music from a young age - from singing in the local choir to performances at night clubs, pubs and casinos.
At 15, she joined the Midnight Revue Show where she performed regularly. She was singing at the Mercury Lounge at the Crown Casino where Ross Fraser of Gotham MD saw her singing and signed her to a record contract distributed through BMG Australia.
Lydia's 2000 debut single "Real to Me" was a minor radio hit, while her second single "One Perfect Day" (released 4 years later)from the Australian film of the same name debuted at number 35 on the Australian charts on 23 February 2004. Shortly after the release of 'One Perfect Day', Denker was dropped by her label. However she has continually written and released songs independently, and released an EP 'Voices In Your Head' in November 2007. She has also managed a girl group called Ravenisis.

Famous quotes containing the words singing and/or career:
“My mother had a maid called Barbary;
She was in love, and he she loved proved mad,
And did forsake her. She had a song of “Willow,”
An old thing ‘twas, but it expressed her fortune,
And she died singing it. That song tonight
Will not go from my mind.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
