I think singers are musicians. No matter what instrument or voice a person plays I think there are different developmental levels. There are hobbyist players, intermediate players and masters. As there are singers of all proficiency levels. When someone can take a high end gig as a singer there is no doubt a lot of musical skill involved....Especially when a singer can sightread w/out even needing a starting pitch. Wow! that's some chops right there if you ask me!....probably most singers that get to that level can play one or more instruments as well.
