CMAT, Campfire Chaos & Vocal Confidence: What Glasgow Singers Can Learn from Ireland’s Pop Country Star
CMAT Is More Than a Singer—She’s a Force of Personality
She’s a little bit country, a lot of camp, and completely fearless. CMAT (Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson) has exploded onto the global stage by being one thing above all else: unapologetically herself.
With powerhouse vocals, outrageous lyrics, and a stage presence that flips between heartbreak and hilarity in a single verse, CMAT is reminding a whole generation that you don’t have to fit a mould to make music that matters.
And if you’re a singer in Glasgow ready to find your voice, your truth, and your weird, wonderful self—we’re here for it.
At Southside Performance Studio, we offer one-to-one singing lessons in Glasgow to help you unlock the expressive, confident voice that’s already inside you.

💄 Why CMAT Is the Vocal Role Model You Didn’t Know You Needed
If you’ve ever watched CMAT live—or even just seen her on TikTok—you know she brings more than just vocal talent to the stage.
She brings chaos, clarity, control, and charm. She sings about heartbreak with glittery eyeliner, and about deep existential dread with a wink and a guitar solo.
Her secret? She owns her voice. Fully.
And that’s exactly what we help you do at Southside.
🎶 What Glasgow Singers Can Learn from CMAT
🎤 1. A Unique Voice Beats a “Perfect” One
CMAT’s voice is big, expressive, and full of character. She’s not trying to sound like everyone else. She’s trying to sound like CMAT.

Find your unique vocal identity and build the technique to support it.
✅ Learn how to control your tone

🎤 2. Emotion, Humour & Storytelling Belong in Singing
CMAT songs are full of narrative. They’re like theatre shows wrapped in country-pop melodies. Every line she sings is delivered with intention—whether it’s painfully true, hilariously bizarre, or both at once.
Our singing lessons in Glasgow help you go beyond scales and warm-ups. You’ll learn how to:
Interpret lyrics with depth
Perform songs with personality
Infuse comedy, irony, and drama into your delivery
Sing like you’re telling a story that matters
🎤 3. Confidence Is a Skill—Not a Personality Trait
CMAT seems effortlessly confident, but she’s spoken openly about the anxiety and imposter syndrome behind the glitter.
Here’s the truth: confidence isn’t something you either have or don’t. It’s something you build—by showing up, learning, practicing, and growing.
That’s what our Glasgow singing lessons offer:
✅ A safe space to explore your voice
✅ No judgment, no pressure
✅ Coaching that helps you feel good when you sing
