I was born and raised in Melbourne by my singing-duo Tongan Dad and Goddess Mum. I started singing and playing piano when I was a kid and eventually got my AMusA in classical piano. I've been playing and singing and writing ever since and I regularly perform with my sisters Talei and Eliza, Tony Kopa and Headspace; and over the years with Gary Pinto, Sam Keevers, Eric McCusker, Nichaud Fitzgibbon, Bob Valentine, Eugene Hamilton and Tripod to name a few. As well as local gigs, both original and other, I have sung with Jet (on their recent Australian Tour, the Big Day Out tour, the Make Poverty History concert), Rob Thomas, Thelma Houston, Eric Burdon, Leo Sayer, Renee Geyer, Kate Ceberano, Tina Arena, Ross Wilson, RuCL, and the Countdown Spectaculars 1 and 2, among others.

World renowned Music Mag "Classic Rock" described Electric Mary as a cross between Guns 'n' Roses jamming with Free. When the doors shut behind the last punter, and the band steps on stage, the vibe in the room tells you, you ain't gonna forget this one...
