MAY THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS RESONATE WITHIN US AND BRING JOY AND PEACE TO ALL!
MY MISSION AND VISION
About ME
Welcome to Intergenerational Harmony by Edmund Talob (IHET)! I am a retired university lecturer and public servant. I have an undergraduate degree in psychology and postgraduate degrees in guidance and counselling, rehabilitation counselling and health sciences. While most of my working years were committed to helping people and teaching, I have always nurtured since childhood a passion for life and music. As I journey through the golden years of my earthly existence, sharing my music and life experiences to the world through this website is a source of inner joy. Read my StarNow profile to know more about my passions.
About IHET
IHET is a not-for-profit personal website that aims to amplify the meaning and relevance of songs and singing to advocacy, community engagement, health, social equality, travel and wellbeing through information dissemination and shared multimedia created by amateur and emerging artists. IHET is called to a mission of encouraging life and music made simple. With my agile tenor voice ranging from G2 to F5 and a clean falsetto extension up to D6, I endeavour to inspire my audience. Subscribe to my official YouTube Channel to experience the heartbeat and magic of my authentic simplicity approach.
MY MUSIC
My Story
IHET acknowledges the indigenous custodians of the land where my music resonates. The great southern land of Australia, in the country of the Wonnarua Nation including Darkinjung and Awabakal lands, in the wine country of the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales, and where culture, history and nature fuse, is the place I call home. My singing style is defined by my authentic simplicity. I focus more on affective story-telling and prayerful dialogue than technical perfection and vocal gymnastics. I listen to the beat of my heart and follow where my voice takes me. I am an authentic and simple person who lives to smile, inspire, move, pray, love, and educate. I have a simple aspiration of bringing the past to the present and into the future through melodies, harmonies and symphonies immortalised by renowned musicians.
My Inspirations
I find inspiration in everything I hear and see. I recreate music that reflects who I am and resonates the heartbeat of my generation. I am inspired by simple tunes. When I interpret a song, I take a graceful and prayerful approach to appreciating simple joys and simple pleasures. I inspire people to listen not only to music but also to their hearts.
My Influences
I sing to share my passion for old-fashioned music. My vision is to connect generations of life and music. I lived the musical eras of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Natalie Cole, Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, James Taylor, The Beatles, The Carpenters, Bee Gees, to name a few.
