A lawyer from Australia, who has spent years swapping her formal court attire and wig for lycra and fur to perform pop songs during her free time, is pursuing the dream that every musician shares – making it into the top 10 music charts.
The debut single “Luv Bomb” comes from “Bowie Jane,” the 27-year-old’s musical persona, who is currently navigating the peak of a double life that she has managed to keep hidden for over four years.
“My close friends know … but in general, keeping the two lives separate hasn’t been too difficult,” Bowie Jane shared, choosing not to disclose her true identity.
“In court, my style is different and I don’t wear a fringe. On stage, you wouldn’t guess it’s the same person,” she added.
Having had a lifelong passion for music, she initially dreamed of making it her profession, but eventually went to university and became a lawyer to meet her parents’ expectations, who desired a practical career for her to rely on.
Her typical day consists of entering the court, consulting with clients, and preparing her case before dashing off in the evening for her performances. On one occasion, she had to leave early to reach her show on the main stage at the Australian Open tennis tournament.
“I would perform, then return home with a raspy voice, take a break, and be ready for court the next day,” she recounted.
This busy dual existence has sometimes resulted in her wearing stage outfits beneath her legal robes.
“I really have to switch my mindset between the two roles. I’m very serious in court, whereas on stage, I’m completely different,” she explained.
