Fiona Lee Maynard

About Me

A born Idealist, came in singing & dancing with the muse...through melodic, rhythmic & organic genres. Thankfully, I've only ever played the music I really liked & loved at the time I was playing it. From Earwigs U.P, to Have A Nice Day, to Fiona Lee Maynard Band, to In Vivo, onto (current) Femme Royale & TIJUANA SOUVENIRS, (Tijuana Souvenirs 1st album out soon) & now working on a new project with Mark Carson, Jennifer Smith and James Lomas, to be revealed at Highett Bowls Club in March, (this is what beauty sounds like, don't miss it, everything is transient and impermanent, live the moment).

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

Member Since: 8/15/2006
Band Website: you're on it Baby!
Band Members: Me & a cast of thousands!!! Rate my poem, Click here
Influences: A wise woman, (Dolores from The Tea Cup Room in New Orleans) once observed that I learn by osmosis. This translates to me absorbing everything I see and hear and feel and expressing my take on it. I.T.A.S (Inside The Actors Studio) the TV show is a weekly source of inspiration. Love and Truth, that tingly sensation you get when every fibre of your being recognises a moment of Truth, and any Artist with the capacity to reveal this. Also my friends, and my beloved husband (and wonderful guitarist and insightful songwriter) James Lomas. http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUuY29tL3dh dGNoP3Y9NWVKWUFVdDJjYms=
Sounds Like: I've been accused of sounding like; Chrissy Amphlett, Johnette Napolitano, Patti Smith, Kate Bush, Poly Styrene, Bruce Dickinson, Ethel Merman, Liza Minelli, Janis Joplin...& also of possessing an utterly singular voice. I may have chameleonic qualities, but really I just sound like me. Mikey Simmons (LA Weekly et al) "Fiona Lee Maynard's voice is not only fab but utterly singular - noone sounds like her." Martin Jones (In Press) "Fiona Lee Maynard sure has a set of pipes, don't she? The dark power of Patti Smith and the frank attitude of Chrissy Amphlett are among the many things that make her powerful vibrato what it is." (I stand accused). :-)
Record Label: Shock, Mushroom, Birdcage, now unsigned
