Interview | Tessa Collitt Ginger and Nuts
Singer Tessa Collitt brought her infectious enthusiasm to the airwaves recently, joining the ever-energetic Ginger and Nuts on their radio show. Listeners were treated to a glimpse into Tessa’s musical journey, a path paved with a lifelong love for song.
“I’ve always loved singing, ever since I was a child,” Tessa told the hosts. She recalled her early years when she was involved in musical theatre productions and took regular singing lessons. As a child, she not only sang but also learned to play multiple instruments, including the piano, clarinet, violin, and even the saxophone. “It kept me busy and out of trouble!” she said with a laugh.
The conversation delved deeper as Ginger and Nuts probed Tessa’s influences. “It’s hard to choose just one,” she admitted, “I grew up with such a wide variety of music.” Country music held a special place in her heart, with Tessa citing legends like Dolly Parton as inspirations. However, her appreciation extended to contemporary artists like Amy Winehouse and Miley Cyrus, showcasing her diverse musical palette.
Tessa’s career has seen her grace stages at weddings, restaurants, and more recently, care homes. The joy she finds in performing for elderly residents shone through. “Seeing their faces light up is the best reward,” she explained. “Music truly has the power to uplift spirits.” Her repertoire caters to her audience’s requests, ranging from Elvis Presley classics to nostalgic tunes from the 1940s.
As the interview drew to a close, Tessa invited listeners to explore her musical world. Fans can find videos and information on her website, tessacollitt.com, or connect with her on Facebook at “Tessa Collitt Singing.”
Tessa ended the segment on a high note, treating listeners to a special cover of “Stand By Me,” marking her much-anticipated return to recording after a hiatus. Ginger and Nuts couldn’t help but praise her rendition, leaving listeners with a memorable musical treat.
