"Music is in the ears and brain of the listener, being translated into our perceptions and emotions. We simply make music we enjoy and hope that others will enjoy it too. We're looking forward to doing some gigs for the pleasure of BIG audiences... So here's hoping lots of you like the way we sound!" Petra Metal Queen.

Place of residence: UK
Hobbies: Listening to and making music, writing songs, watching movies, travelling, eating out with friends.
Vices: Vices? I don’t have any, well not serious ones anyway. Whenever I feel one creeping up on me I shake it off immediately.
Background: Batchelor of Art Honours Degree from De Montford University, Master of Arts Degree from The University of Warwick, P.G.C.E. from The University of Warwick.
Previous bands: Me and The Boys, Southern Knights, Smile, 'Petra' and M-16.
Current activities: I've spent the last three years performing to Soul music as a solo artist in clubs and private corporate events; I also perform a very successful tribute to Eva Cassidy. However, I would embrace the opportunity to join an awesome Metal band with a gothic bent as Metal is my preferred genre.
Idols in Music: Bruce Dickinson, James Hetfield, Ozzy Osbourne, Johnny Cash, Prince, Freddie Mercury, Emiliana Torrini, Phil Lynnot, David Bowie, Tina Turner, Kate Bush, Eva Cassidy, Jeff Buckley, Ronnie James Dio, Hans Zimmer, Yngwie Malmsteen, Barbra Streisand, Kiri Takanawa, Marty Robbins, Tommy Emmanuel, Joe Satriani, White Snake, Stevie Ray Vaughan…Basically too many to reel off now!
Idols in life: There are so many but those who spring to mind are; Jesus Christ, Mahatma Ghandi, Mother Teresa, Albert Einstien, W.B. Yates, Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stocker, William Blake, Steven Hawking, Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, John F Kennedy, Mikhail Gorbachev, Akenaten.
Life Philosophy: Respect others as well as yourself.
If it’s important to you go for it! No matter how hard things get; never, ever, ever, ever give up!.......EVER!!!!......Well, only when you know you are really and truley completely beaten; then you have no choice.
Place you would like to go: The Valley of The Kings and The City of Petra.
What makes you laugh? Laurel and Hardy….They are the masters of comedy!
First record you bought: Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush……Well, actually, it was my Mother who bought it for me as I was so captivated by it.
All time top 5 albums:
Master of Puppets by Metallica
Peace of Mind by Iron Maiden
Number of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Once by Nightwish
Killing time on tour: Movies, books, writing, sight seeing, photography, exercise and sleeping.
Preparation for a show: Drink a pint of water and relax (if my nerves will let me) alone for fifteen minutes.
Strangest experience on tour: Turning up for a gig (after driving 150 miles) where A&R Scouts were looking for new talent to find that the drummer and one of the guitarists had left the band. That was a really bad hair day!
Worst nightmare in general: A member of my family or one of my friends becoming seriously ill.

Dumbest question you have ever been asked: Are you Chinese?
I love your voice, the music and the lyrics in all your songs. Thanks very much for adding me. I’ll tell my friends about you. Have a great weekend! xoxo
Thanks for the comment. Never heard of you before, but what I've heard on your site was really cool. I realy like to see a more melodic metal out threre. Your sound realy eases mind as opposed to getting you pumped up. Which is a massive contrast to what I usaully listen to. Keep up the good work.
