Siân Greenaway is a singer and flautist based in Birmingham, England. Many may know her from her 7-year stint with hard rock band Alunah, but she has since moved on, reinvented herself under a fresh new pseudonym, and is now the driving force behind a catchy and energetic new project named Bobbie Dazzle. Bobbie Dazzle has a new record called Fandabidozi on Rise Above Records.
In this interview, Siân tells us about the new identity and making music as Bobbie Dazzle. She explains how the positive vibe of the record served as a coping mechanism for her in a time of loss. We talk about some “happy accidents” in the studio that made for great moments on the record. We talk about the Sweet influence, the incorporating of the flute into this music, and if we might see her out on tour.

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
