- About Wilma
-
Wilma Reading is of mixed Torres Strait Islander and Irish descent. She was the first Australian to ever appear on the Johnny Carson Show. Wilma was also a singing teacher in the music department of the Cairns TAFE.
By the time I was 12 I knew without a doubt that [singing] was what I wanted to do with my life.
— Wilma Reading [1]
