Uncensored Visionary: The Queer Music Podcast
BVT talks combing her passions for R&B/hip-hop, music & acting and crafting a career in Australia
Meet BVT —
BVT (Bernie Van Tiel) was born in the ‘place with many chins and noses’/‘place of many possums’ in Australia. Eventually, she moved out to Sydney, Australia to pursue her dreams in the performing arts making it into some music and acting programs. From there she continued to purse music and acting, landing roles in Jade of Death (as the lead) as well as a cameo role alongside LaLa Anthony in Reef Break.
Her interest in music came at a crossroads. She grew up listening to slow jams and songs by Whitney Houston. It wasn’t until her cousin played a song by Rahzel, with its intoxicating beatboxing, that got her hooked onto hip hop. BVT knew from that moment on that she had to be a hip hop/R&B artist. She started playing guitar, writing songs and became passionate about pursing a career in music. Over the course of her career, she’s been able to connect her music to her acting and vice versa.
Find out how BVT has been able to thrive in the latest episode of Uncensored Visionary.
