Her younger brother Nick Kyrgios made his name on the tennis court, but now 31-year-old Halimah is hoping to score some “love” of her own on The Voice Australia!
Growing up in Canberra, the aspiring athlete often joined her in performing, reveals Halimah. “Nick used to sit up in my room and video himself lip-syncing to whatever song I was practising. I don’t know if I’d hire him as a backup singer, but he was always a very supportive audience member. To this day, Nick really does his best to see me perform.”
And the support is mutual, with Halimah adding, “If I have time off, I always use it to go to see him play in the closest city to me, which I really enjoy.”
She was always very competitive with Nick and her other brothers.
“It pushed all of us to be the best we could be in whatever field we chose,” recalls Halimah, who followed her passion for performing into studying musical theatre and starring in productions around the world.
