Not sure if I've formally introduced myself by my real name to many of my followers on #steemit or in the #crypto #community... So since I've been #blogging and #steeming for more than a couple of years, I thought I'd better go ahead and let you get to know me a bit more than the #WishMaiden Alias I use online most of the time.

My name is Ellie, I'm from the Sunshine Coast - #TeamAustralia. I`m very passionate about a lot of things in #life, and find myself often optimistically reaching for the stars and even beyond, because I just know that there's more to all 'THIS' than meets the eye, and I'm always keeping my eyes and ears open for #opportunity to #experience it. To be alive and find #fulfillment can be a bit full on and sometimes overwhelming,but there's so much fun and excitement as well! But generally speaking, to #live really is a bit of an odd kind of thing to learn to get your head around!

I`m a dedicated Crypto Enthusiast, Ambitious Networker and Entrepreneur, Musician, Event Planner, Peace Advocate and #Mother to my two darling children.

I've been #singing since I can remember and playing #guitar for about 6 or 7 years, which has really helped my bring my #creativity together, helping me produce my #love for music into the tunes and music I share so often.

I like all kinds of #music, and enjoy performing pretty much anything I can #sing and play!

The #stage calls me!

I have many Idols, but if I had to think of just one musician that I could say I aspire too, I'd say UMMMM.... How bout 50? Hhaha

The list of my favourites is LONG, but to mention a few bands and soloists that have really impacted on my love of music...

#JanisJoplin, #BetteMidler, #FreddieMercury, #MeatLoaf, #SamSparro, #LedZeppelin, #CatStevens, #JudyGarland, #DeltaGoodrem, #GuySebastian, #Avicii, #BarbraStreisand, #PinkFloyd, #AndrewLloydWebber, #LanaDelRey, #Sia, #StevieWonder....

And...

You could say if i had to really choose one musician that I respect and look up to, well, after some though, I decided to go with #Adele, such elegance and #beauty in her musical vocal #art with a big, strong #voice and a magical presence that is all she needs as she take the stage. All eyes and ears on her as she lights up the #spotlight gracefully #entertaining, no matter how large the crowd, she owns those moments like no other, a true star- born for it.
She is full of soul that inspires me as a musician, to use my voice and be comfortable in myself to practice more and to embrace the dedication,feeling and poise that it takes to perform as a musical #artist. .

This is my favourite song by Adele to sing, "Someone Like You"
