The Singing Sisterhood

Auditions to join the Singing Sisterhood choir

are currently open

The deadline for new members to audition is Thursday 23rd January. The new term starts 30th January (term dates listed below)

There’s a free tryout session happening at our rehearsal space, Mäster Olofsgården in Gamla Stan on Thursday 16th January! Come sing with us and meet the choir! If you join the tryout you don’t need to audition.
(term dates, times & prices below)

The intention.

The intention of this choir is to be pretty darn tight and musically great while also saying a big F*** You to perfectionism! Being expressive and free, and being together, take precedence over being perfect. 

So you can see that there is a line to walk here. A line where we do strive to be a great choir, while we also let go of being good at the same time.

The process of being a choir has already asked myself and several members to examine ourselves and what it means to sing out, take space and walk the line between striving for greatness, and letting go.


I’m so excited and curious for how that process will continue to unfold, for all of us!

So I would say this choir is for you if:

🧡 You resonate with the demo songs (check them below)

🧡 You feel comfortable singing back a melody that you hear in the right pitch

🧡 You have a good sense of rhythm/timing

🧡 You feel fairly comfortable holding a part while other people are singing something different (of course there will be other people on your part. I hope to have a few strong leaders here)

🧡 You’re ready to have fun and be really expressive when you sing

🧡 You’re ready & willing to set out on this journey of being a great choir while also letting go of perfectionism and hyper-sensitivity to right and wrong

Check you can commit!

  • The intention of this choir is to be pretty darn tight and musically great while also saying a big F*** You to perfectionism! So, while we have a lot of fun, there is a level of commitment required to be part of this group. You are expected to attend at least 70% of our sessions. If you can't attend a session, you're expected to practice at home to make up what you missed (practice materials are provided)

    So make sure you add the term dates to your calendar now. Hopefully this Google Calendar link works for you: https://calendar.app.google/R4SR94WqTyQDJdHs7

    This commitment expectation applies to our 10 set rehearsal, not to the hangout sessions. But, hopefully you’ll attend hangs and such if you possibly can, as it contributes to making us feel great and sing great as a group.

    Please also put the concert dates in your calendar and plan around them as best you can - it does make a huge difference whether you are there are not!
    The sisterhood needs you! 🫵🥹🥰

How to audition

Are you resonating with all this? GREAT! Time to audition. 

I know the word “audition” can make alarm bells start ringing! I hope this can be a nice experience for you

I’m not looking for perfect here! 

My own pitch and timing are certainly not perfect! I am looking for a certain level of skill/natural talent with pitch, timing and holding a line while there’s a different harmony part happening at the same time. 

I’ve thrown in a couple of deliberately tricky parts that I don’t expect everyone to nail, and that I find a little tricky myself! 

Please try to just relax and have fun

If I don’t think you’re ready yet for this choir, I’ll give you some tips for how to improve so you can audition again for the next term. 

The deadline to audition is Thursday 23rd January! If you come to the tryout session on January 16th you don’t need to audition!

🧡 Step 1: Check the demo tracks (~6 minutes)

Listen through the demo tracks and check you’re vibing with them! I think they give a good sense of the kind of music I’m writing for this choir.

🧡 Step 2: Record the 3-part 2-audition (~7 minutes) 

You will need:

  • The voice notes/memos feature on your phone

  • Another device that you can play the audition tracks on 

I would like you to record in the voice notes/voice memos of your phone while you play the audition tracks out loud on the speakers of another device (eg. laptop speakers). Follow the instructions inside the e-audition tracks and sing along.

Do you see what I mean? Then what you will get recorded on your phone is the whole thing: the tracks I have made will record into your phone along with your voice so that I get to hear everything all together. 

I’ve separated it out into 3 parts to keep it bitesize. So, you’ll press record on your phone memos, press play on your “other device” (eg. laptop, tablet), and sing along with the audition soundtrack. 

Save each time before you go onto the next track. 

🧡 Step 3 : Send me your audition tracks

Email your 3 audition tracks to kim@kimgajraj.com, subject line: choir audition + name

If they are too large to attach, you might need to use WeTransfer, Google Drive or similar. 

I don’t mind what you do as long as you send them by email to that email address 👆

I won’t accept tracks that come through any other app or platform than email

🧡 Step 4: Fill out the Google form

It won’t take long! It’s important though! I want to ask you about your intentions with joining the choir and check you resonate with the choir’s intentions and commitment level, too! Here’s the link to fill out the form >

That’s it!

That’s it! You can write me anywhere with questions! (but again, please send your audition via email only)

I hope you enjoy the process! I’m so excited about this!

THE ACTIVATION AUDIO BUNDLE

THE ACTIVATION AUDIO BUNDLE

This free activation audio bundle is for you who knows there’s something you know you want to do or want to say...

- And for some reason it’s hard to get over that hump and do or say the thing…

To live a life truly aligned with our desires and dreams is the greatest gift we can give ourselves in this lifetime. ❤️‍🔥
But to give it to ourselves, we have to:
❌ Stop caring so much what people will think
❌ Give ourselves a break and be less critical
❌ Stop waiting until we’re perfect before we let ourselves be seen

It’s a privilege to be in a position where the main thing holding us back from reaching our dreams- 💫
It’s powerful, too. Because it means we have the power to shift it!

This activation audio bundle is designed to support you in releasing yourself from
👉🏽 Self-doubt
👉🏽 Nervousness from being in the spotlight
👉🏽 Fear of judgement or criticism

And remember WHO THE F you are! 🔥

About the sound journey

First we'll harness the power of sound including your own voice to guide you into a deep state of relaxation similar to a dreamlike state where it's easier for your brain to make new pathways

I'll then guide you through a visualisation that helps you embody your power on a whole new level, while teaching you how to create a calm, confident presence in the moments when you step into the spotlight

You get:

💫 A 6-minute intro and pep talk to help you step into your power
💫 A 12-minute sound journey to re-program you into inspired action mode
💫 A downloadable version of my song Trust My Heart: a powerful and activating combination of song and spoken word/rap to help you reconnect to yourself and remember who the F you are (the song is currently pre-release and not available to download anywhere else).
