I met Cougar Morrison in New York City during a show in the basement of a Greenwich Village gay bar. She was visiting New York from her home back in Perth, Australia.. and decided to do a performance while in NYC. She had this little tiny body, and a VERY VERY LARGE blonde bouffant hair-do at the time, and was doing these insanely fast dancing moves, and all of it combined made it look like she was a very energetic lollipop high kicking throughout the club. I asked her to be in the interview for the series, and she said yes.We met on the upper west side in Manhattan the next morning, and talked about the life of Cougar Morrison. Cougar grew up in Perth, Australia and was raised by a very conservative family. “I grew up in Upper Swan… well technically, it’s not Lower Swan either.. .. I was raised in the mid section.. like the intestinal area of a Swan “ he jokes, “But really.. it was difficult out there to be different.” " Cougar states, “I got my name from .. no joke.. a GHOST! When i was a little kid I remember someone just OUT OF NOWHERE shouting the words “WHO IS COUGAR MORRISON” and it freaked me out. Later on I figured, well, Cougar Morrison is me!”Cougar Morrison is a talented tour de force. He’s a classically trained Opera singer who has trained in the finest institutions in Italy and New York City. Cougar uses this talent, and their knack in dancing, to become a living walking singing piece of art.
我在紐約市格林威治村(Greenwich Village)同性戀酒吧地下室的一場演出中遇到了Cougar Morrison。她從澳大利亞珀斯(Australia,Perth)家中到訪紐約,並決定在紐約進行一場表演。她有著瘦小的身型,而當時頂著一頭非常蓬鬆的金色頭髮,並且正在做這些瘋狂的快速舞蹈動作,所有樣貌結合起來讓她在整個俱樂部,看起來像是一個非常有活力的棒棒糖。我請她參加這個系列的採訪,她答應了。第二天早上我們在曼哈頓上西區(upper west side in Manhattan) 見面,談論了Cougar Morrison的生活。Cougar在澳大利亞珀斯(Australia,Perth)長大,由一個非常保守的家庭撫養長大。“我在上天鵝(Upper Swan)長大,嚴格來講,它也不是下天鵝(Lower Swan),我是在中段長大的,就像天鵝的腸道區域,”他開玩笑說,“但真的,在那裡很難要與眾不同。 ” Cougar 說,的時“我的名字來自 ..., 不開玩笑,是一個幽靈!當我還是個小孩候,我記得有人突然大喊“誰是 Cougar Morrison”這句話嚇壞了我。後來我想好吧,Cougar Morrison就是我!”Cougar Morrison 是一位才華橫溢且擁有絕妙的表演。他是一位受過古典訓練的歌劇歌手,曾在義大利和紐約市最好的機構接受過培訓。Cougar利用這種才能,以及他們在舞蹈方面的訣竅,成為活生生的行走歌唱藝術品。
