About Me

oPheLia’s attiTude is synonymous with yOni Yinarr and independent Indie/Folk/Acoustic music.
ADD US TO YOUR PAGE!The name oPheLia’s attiTude - is taken from the Shakespearian heroin oPheLiA, and speaks to her inner strength and ultimate assertion of personal control and choice.....her 'attiTude'. oPheLia’s inner strength and beauty is universal speaking to women across cultures.
Lyrically, oPheLia’s attiTude music explores raw emotive observations coupled with groovin’ & mellow tunes.
oPheLia’s attiTude was conceived in 1998 on campus of the University of Queensland, Australia. The original oPheLia’s attiTude line up included yOni Yinarr, Stephanie and Emma.
oPheLia’s attiTude currently enjoys the flexibility to write & perform in solo acoustic (yOni Yinarr) & duet formats with Emma.
IN 2008 - oPheLia’s attiTude rescheduled 2 CD projects to this year for production. yOni broke both her arms and a leg!!! Yeeeks!!! Projects include CD 1Raw – Bedroom Recordings
+ yOni is collaborating with Emma to write and produce a second CD entitled attiTudes.Music featured on the official myspace player is reflective of the creative process & welcomes fans to development of 'Raw – Bedroom Recordings' & 'attiTudes' new music. The recording project has progressed to phase two of Pre-Production.
