Atlanta

About Me

Born in Ibiza Spain Atlanta has a background in visual art, theatre and spoken word poetry. Atlanta was drawn to soul/roots and blues music and would sing her hearts story through the blues. She started playing guitar and percussion in her 20's and gained opportunities to collaborate and experiment with other musicians when she moved to Melbourne. Fascinated with sound and vocal improvisation she learnt to use her voice as an instrument for musical alchemy as part of freestyle accapella labs and has enjoyed experimenting with vocal styles from opera to jazz.Atlanta is an articulate singer/songwriter who has developed her own strong and powerful voice. Her songwriting reflects her life experiences and she offers a poetic and often political view of the world through her music. Atlanta has been described as a 'hauntingly beautiful' artist who writes and performs 'unforgettable songs.' The Byron Bay Shire EchoAtlanta has uploaded her 5 track EP titled Infinity, enjoy!l
