MY HISTORY by LUELLA the short but sweet version.
Music has been my life since I was 13. My first musical experience was sitting in the back yard at mum and dads singing to a circle of my friends, and one of them saying that I was good at it. I then did a local competition with my best friend (and adopted sister) Kerry. I think the song we sang was called "Where the Golden Wattle Grows". It had a Yodel Chorus and I have it on video at Mum and Dads. When I watch it I laugh so much!! My family love to dig it out and show people, and I am sure I go bright red. Mum and Dad bought me a guitar for my 15th Birthday, and I started entering my first Country Music Competitions. My original guitar went into retirement when I received my much appreciated endorsement from Ayers Guitars, in the form of "Aylah" (she's gorgeous!!).

In high school I formed my first band "Coolon Road". When I realized I could have music as a job, I wouldn't have it any other way and we played so many great shows at the local hotels. Mum and Dad bought me my first PA system and Microphone and, at 16, I made my first journey to the Tamworth Country Music Festival. Mum and Dad drove for 16 hours straight to get me there. They have been truly amazing!!!!

I then went on to tour Australia twice with the Brian Young show, which helped me to grow so much. I visited so many parts of this big country, in fact 56,000km in 4 months, and am forever grateful for the experience.

My move to Brisbane in 2000 then led me to joining The Blue Heeler Band, which gave me the opportunity to perform on the big stages and at the big festivals in country music. I am extremely proud to be a part of this band and have been fortunate to work with many talented people, especially my manager who has been so loyal. The fact that I have so many devoted people supporting me makes me incredibly happy. The music industry is challenging for an independent artist and it is, the fans, family & friends, who keep the flame burning in my heart to continue onto the next show.

I look forward to meeting many of you at the muster.
