Bruce Hodgess
Drums
Bruce believes he was born to be a drummer. His sense of rhythm and timing have given him a unique style and sound which could be described as drumming with an edge, yet compatible with the many different styles of music he plays.

Early days took Bruce to the Sydney Conservatorium and studies with master jazz drummers such as Phil Treloar and later with David Jones. This led to many ventures from funk/rock outfits to big band jazz.

Bruce has worked the Sydney scene extensively with several original and cover bands as well as touring nationally and overseas with bands such as Squeeze, Hot Rox and Stonehenge and supporting numerous international bands.

Bruce likes to work closely with the bass player to lay down the groove and set the foundation for the band. Whether it is Pop, Rock, Funk or Jazz a tight rhythm section is essential and having that is a big part of the success and energy of DIVAMANIA.




Steve Bett
Keyboard
Steve followed his father into the entertainment industry, learning to play the piano as a child and “cutting his teeth” over many years on the Sydney circuit. He has toured nationally supporting such notable Australian bands as Cold Chisel, Mother Goose, Renee Geyer and MI-SEX.

During this time he developed an original style and sound, gaining popular recognition from his many loyal supporters. 

Steve shares the excitement of the other members of the band about being part of this show and the opportunity to use his ability to play a variety of musical styles.
