and he said ... "the girl wants to create"

In her later teen years, Jayne Bryant was given a positive affirmation that she was good at singing and performing. It came from a comment made by her brother, to her dad, whilst they were on a family summer holiday.

From that moment she had the confidence to really focus on this passion and ultimately make the decision to postpone the completion of her University Science Degree and venture to Melbourne to undertake a one year course in music performance.

During that year in Melbourne her musical skills blossomed and she began to develop into a ‘real’ performer. On her arrival back to Perth, Jayne became immersed in her local music network and took the bold step to begin performing live. Whilst this lifestyle was challenging and ultimately not financially viable or fulfilling, an impressive body of work was created that culminated in an album of all her songs … called “Just as it Should” and released in 2008.

The science degree was completed after all and over time Jayne realised her passions were changing from music to ‘climate change’. The desire to influence decision makers and create a sustainable world for everyone, led her to Sweden where she completed her Phd. So, now as Dr Jayne Bryant, she is fully immersed in working to improve our world … but there is still a glimmer of hope that in the future she will still “create” music again and use this to connect people with her cause.
