About Me

Hi Folks,
First I would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of this land and pay my respects to the elders past and present of this Bundjalung Nation.
I give thanks to my family for being the beautiful people that they are and always inspiring me to do what I believe in.
I have a new duo project with Mish and we are called Songbird, you can check Mish out on my top friends list. Mish plays the trumpet, keys, drums and sings.
I am also playing with a man called Jamie and we are in the process of getting a band together. Jamie plays guitar, harmonica and sings.
My old duo Two Colour Mountain made the top 10 in the MUSICOZ Awards for our song CAPITAL CLOWN in the world/folk category.
Two Colour Mountain has come to an end but it was a great many years of music. The ep will be available online soon.
Quote from Pete Murray about Two Colour Mountains EP:
"The first thing that struck me was the old sound of the first track and Elena's voice is so unique for this time.
"I was totally blown away with their three track EP. I've been playing it to everybody that comes to my house. I was so inspired by the use of instrumentation and sounds that they have, that I adapted some of this to my new album and asked Elena and Jessie to come and play on a few tracks."
"Don't make the mistake of listening to this music only once, it grows on you."
PETE MURRAY (Australian Singer/songwriter)
I have Samoan blood and that is a big part of who I am, so thanks Mum for keeping the traditions alive. I now live on the coast of NSW not far from Byron Bay. I love being a part of our community and positive change in as many areas as I can.
I have listened to so much beautiful music here on myspace, so thanks for all your amazing and inspiring tunes. I look forward to meeting you and hearing your stories. It's great to be part of a space that lets us share our music and get closer to each other.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME:I love all kinds of music and love learning to play new instruments. I enjoy working on community projects and doing gigs for community groups. My aim with music is to try and spread positive messages and have a job that I really love doing. I have played all around Australia and many countries overseas and I am so inspired by the land and the people.
I love to improvise and I do that in all my shows, I love to just make up songs while I'm playing. It connects me to people in such an amazing way and allows me to have a lot of fun with the audience. I have had so many amazing experiences being a musician and am glad that I picked up that guitar that day and just started singing.
