Tania Karen de Jong AM[1] is an Australian soprano, social entrepreneur, businesswoman, motivational speaker, and event producer. She is the founder of Creative Innovation Global, Creative Universe, Creativity Australia, Dimension5, Music Theatre Australia, Pot-Pourri, and the Song Room, and co-founder of Mind Medicine Australia. De Jong was named one of the "100 Most Influential People in Psychedelics" globally by Psychedelic Invest in 2021.[2]

Early life

Her maternal grandmother Slawa Duldig kept her folding umbrella secret until she had secured a patent.[3]

De Jong was born in Arnhem, the Netherlands, to her Dutch father and Austrian mother, both of whom escaped the Holocaust.[4] Her parents met at the 1961 Maccabiah Games in Israel.[5] De Jong's mother Eva de Jong-Duldig was a Dutch national tennis champion, a Federation Cup player for Australia, and a three-time quarter-finalist at the Wimbledon Championships.[6] She also won gold medals at the 1957 Maccabiah Games and the 1961 Maccabiah Games in Israel.[7][8][9]

De Jong's maternal grandfather, Karl Duldig, a Polish refugee living in Vienna who escaped the Holocaust with his family, ultimately landing in Australia, was a Vienna-trained sculptor. Her maternal grandmother, Slawa Duldig, also trained as a sculptor in Vienna, and invented the world's first modern folding umbrella.[6] Her maternal grandparents’ former home in Melbourne's Malvern East now operates as a museum named the 'Duldig Studio'.[10]

De Jong and her parents moved from the Netherlands to Melbourne, Australia, when de Jong was one year old.[11]

Academic life

De Jong graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Law (Honours).[12] She then graduated from the Victorian College of the Arts with a Graduate Diploma in Opera and Music Theatre, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Music (Opera and Voice). She also attended college in the United States for a year, on a tennis scholarship.[13]

Career

Soprano

Aged 14, de Jong was advised by a friend not to undertake singing lessons. She nevertheless auditioned for the chorus of her school's performance of Oklahoma at age 17, and was cast in the lead role.[14]

As a soprano, de Jong has performed as a soloist with a number of orchestras at the Victoria State Opera, and across 40 countries,[15][16][17] including at the Sydney Opera House, Seoul Arts Centre, and Opera under the Stars.[13] De Jong has collaborated with soprano Antoinette Halloran, singer Craig Macdonald, composer and pianist Joe Chindamo, and concert pianist Rebecca Chambers.[18]

In May 2022, de Jong produced a musical named Driftwood, based on her mother's memoir of her family.[19] It premiered in Melbourne.[20]

Business career

De Jong is the Founder of Creative Innovation Global, Creative Universe (transformational leadership programs to inspire people to find their voice, and to bring greater wellbeing, engagement, and innovation into organisations), Creativity Australia, Dimension5, Music Theatre Australia, Pot-Pourri, and The Song Room (which has provided access to creative learning for 250,000 disadvantaged Australian children), and co-founder of Mind Medicine Australia.[21][22][23][24] De Jong is known to encourage creative innovation whilst highlighting the interests of marginalised and disadvantaged Australians through her various enterprises.[6][25][26]

Event producer

As an event producer, de Jong has hosted nine events focused on "Creative Innovation" in Melbourne, Australia.[27] She is known for advocating for policy change and unity across the business, education, industry, community, and creative sectors during times of anticipated social disruption and change known otherwise as disruptive innovation.[17][28]
