Justine Balmer may not be a name you are familiar with but if you are a QVC viewer you may recognize the glint in the eye and the smile that lights up a room.
Justine spends a lot of her time at Londons QVC studios selling garden and household products to TV home-shopping masses, (her job is not as glamorous as she makes it look!), but Justine has also been harboring a big secret. When she is not live on air she can be found boarding luxury cruise ships, enchanting audiences and winning standing ovations across the globe. Her stunning soprano voice, with its purity of tone and emotional warmth, has earned her the affectionate title of songbird.
To say Justine has cut her teeth performing on many a stage at numerous events would be an understatement. She has crafted stage presence and camera technique under the spotlight of QVC and stepped out in front of an orchestra night after night singing classics, musical theatre, opera, rock and pop. Justine has headlined on the QE2, Royal Caribbean, Azamara, Regent and Seabourn cruises and her journey has meant her being invited to perform at many top London venues including the Cafe Royal, Dorchester Hotel, Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall and Cadogan Hall; plus various concert halls and theatres across the UK. Favourite moments include performing at Royce Hall, Los Angeles; singing the role of Cosette alongside Frances Ruffelle and Ruthie Henshall in excerpts from Les Miserables at The Inspiration Awards for Women on behalf of Breakthrough Breast Cancer at Cadogan Hall, London; entertaining the troops while fronting the Queens Division Big Band; featured roles in the UK tours of Kiss Me, Kate and The Masters of the House; as well as popping up on screen in Tim Burtons film of Sweeney Todd.
So now the secret is out, Justine Balmer is the songbird with a need to sing. We look forward to sharing this gorgeous voice with you, a voice that needs to be heard and remain a well-kept secret no more.
