When I grow up, I want to be a singer – Jasmine, Sydney, Australia
My mission is to connect with and help people through music, communicating that we are enough, we are complete, just as we are and need to look to ourselves to fine haven and safety. I aim to shine light, influencing others to share it, along with that in which they create for themselves – Ella Fence, Wanderer
Life is ours to be spent, not saved – D. H. Lawrence – Erin Murphy, Gold Coast, Australia
I dream to be a journalist or own my own coffee shop – Dakoda Leary, Hobart, Australia
Do more of what makes you happy! – Karen Watt, Gold Coast, Australia
Love is like a violin. The music may stop now and then, but the strings remain forever – Antoinette Jensen, Gold Coast, Australia
I believe I offer a unique performance experience. Music to me is about a sense of community and building a connection with people, presenting an environment and energy that is relatable. Being a songwriter and performer is like being a lightening rod – you are channeling the energies around you – sometimes it’s storming and you have a lot to work with, and sometimes it’s not – but there is always energy, you just need to keep your heart open and let the creativity flow through you – Ella Fence
What I love about music is the smile it brings…. Not to the face, but to the heart – Keith (Kevin Hedgehog), 4ZZZ Brisbane
You have Jeff Buckley-esque vocals – Rick, Gravelly Beach, at an Ella Fence performance
Remember to decide to act on your truest most intense and uplifting feeling you have within. Your creativeness can be killed by your indecisiveness. – Nathan Varga, Melbourne, Australia
For me, music brings me waves of joyous, free-spirited, blissful experience with people I love. Every amazing musical journey brings us a step closer to a world of centred delightful people who are awesome forces of nature and harmony. – Tsung Xu, Sydney, Australia
Your impact in life and towards others is determined on the impact you have on yourself every day. – Nathan Varga, Melbourne, Australia
Live the life you lust – Ella Fence
Imagine – together we can create a world where peace is the norm; not just a possibility (and war and violence and neither expected nor accepted) – Robin and Moonbeam, Brisbane, Australia
Be confident in your ability. Confidence fuels development. You might not make it out on top anytime soon, but it is in reminding yourself repeatedly, that you will not be stuck down below much longer. Day by day, the confidence you have in your ability to advance as a human being will help you climb the highest mountains, and achieve great things in your life. – Nathan Varga, Melbourne, Australia
I’m glad you know that Jeg Elsker Deg is the true meaning – Palle Kastberg, Gold Coast, Australia
When you become the image of your own imagination, it’s the most powerful thing you could ever do. – RuPaul Charles – Chris Avery-White, Gold Coast, Australia
Music is the Colour Vision to our ears – Jessy Hart
I dream to make a living out of being on radio – Ben Waterford, Hobart, Australia
Don’t be afraid – Robin and Moonbeam, Brisbane, Australia
It doesn’t matter what you create, as long as you create. Our minds are meant to express creativity, and think beyond normal. We are meant to live each day fuelling our passion, and what you truly desire. Creativity in whatever form will bring out the best of you. It will build up confidence and frame a magnified version of yourself. When you create you energise your cells and empower your life. – Nathan Varga, Melbourne, Australia
To stop dreaming is to stop living – Antoinette Jensen, Gold Coast, Australia
Music can give you positive reflective thoughts about positive life experiences – Stephen Pickett, Gold Coast, Australia
“I want to be happy. Completely and utterly and stupidly giddy about life. I want to wake up at 73 and be proud of myself for finding reasons to smile everyday even when things seem shitty. I also want to be loved deeply and not be lonely. I want to surround myself with family, friends, pets and the like. I want to be young woman who has a weekly catch up with my best friends, a mum giving funny kisses to my babies and an old lady holding hands with my sweetheart. I want to see the whole entire world and eat weird foods and swim in all the oceans and see how people live. I also want to be a boss. Like not bossy, but more Beyonce. I want a career I can tell my daughter about. I want to be forgiving. I do not want to hold grudges. I want to be content. I do not want to be jealous. I want to live. I do not want to just exist – CBD, Gold Coast, Australia
Nothing in life is certain, it never is – except for the fact that music will always evoke emotion in the listener. It can make you angry, make you cry, make you laugh, make you dance and wholly consume you. I love that music is a form of expression for so many people, including myself. Every song has a story behind it, whether it be hidden by the words or there on the surface, you just need to listen. Someone is telling you their story through a melody. So you should always listen to music in whatever form it may be. Sometimes you’ll hate it and others you won’t be able to get enough of. That’s what is so amazing about it – the contrast it brings. Music can always brighten my day – turn a crappy day into an amazing one. So let music do the same for you. When you fall in love with a song, make that song your happy place and you will always be able to turn a dark day into and amazingly bright one! – Steph Costan, Gold Coast, Australia
Feel the fear and do it anyway – Scott Browning, Gold Coast, Australia
Don’t worry, think of good things – Moonbeam , Brisbane, Australia
Nothing can stop you being who you are – Dana Jenson, Hobart, Australia
Dreams are only reached when people realise that they have to change and make sacrifices. When you make those changes and stick to it habitually, the evolution of yourself is targeted by those still living and functioning in an average lifestyle that you had enough of, and decided to step away from. When you decided to change and glorify your life, others will condemn and try to bring you back down. When those people express adverse judgement, you keep expressing a strong desire to make your dreams existent. – Nathan Varga, Melbourne, Australia
The world demands the qualities of youth, not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the life of ease. Bobby Kennedy – Keith Torrie, Canada
You are amazing – Drew Dixon, at an Ella Fence performance, Hobart, Australia
Music has been something that has developed myself internally. It reconnects me to my values, and recharges me to maintain focus. It inspires me to get my best work done, and provides me with a feeling like no other. A feeling that is euphoric, one that is golden. An immense and electrifying reaction that soothes my entire body, and the chatter in my mind. A feeling that can be so gratefully passed on to another person, and eventually reach out to millions.” – Nathan Varga, Melbourne Australia
Hvordan har du det? Fantastisk! Jeg elsker deg! (Translation – Norwegian to English: How are you? Fantastic! I love you!) – Martin, Hobart, Australia
Whatever you proclaim as your identity here in the material realm is also your drag. You are not your religion. You are not your skin color. You are not your gender, your politics, your career, or your marital status. You are none of the superficial things that this world deems important. The real you is the energy force that created the entire universe! – RuPaul Charles – Chris Avery-White, Gold Coast, Australia
All I have is positive vibes for the future, I’ve been fortunate enough to have a plan that I can be excited about!- Larissa McSweeney, Traveller.
Your voice is amazing! – Anonymous at an Ella Fence performance, Hobart, Australia
If it’s music you feel completely at one with, the music, and with what inspires you will guide you. Trust in what inspires you. To be inspiring to others is to be inspiring to ourselves. One must live in a state of being that allows for inspiration to take hold. – Nathan Varga, Melbourne Australia
You’re a babe, call me – Lucy MacDonald, Hobart, Australia
Love your voice – Jack Chugg, at an Ella Fence performance, Hobart, Australia
My dream is success. I want to succeed in my career. I want to succeed as a mother and a wife. I want to succeed as a good friend and colleague. I want to look into my parents eyes and know that I have done everything possible to make them proud. Each one of these successes will undoubtedly have a song partnered with it. Music inspires me to work harder, be happier, accept failure, continue trying, fall in love, strengthen friendships and even help me cry my little heart out. Every success story has an anthem behind it – Seyda Boyaci, Gold Coast, Australia
You have your whole life ahead of you when you’re young – until you’re old – then it’s all in the past. While you can – look after others; when you can’t – let them look after you – Adonis Storr, Poet, Hobart, Australia
Music is the outer expression which 1000 words cannot – Jessy Hart
When you combine effort, and when you combine love, you create a unified team. – Nathan Varga, Melbourne, Australia
Great music and lyrics – Maggie and Gary, at an Ella Fence performance, Hobart, Australia

Give up yourself & find your real self – C.S. Lewis – Keith Torrie
You are one in a million Ella Fence! – Claire Wilkinson, New Zealand
Life is like a fret board on a guitar… It is an object with unlimited possibilities for creation and expression. You express yourself in any way you choose. Some people may love or dislike that note that makes you; you. But in the end you should try make yourself ring clear and stand out above. Each note plays a part in creating something different. The more you learn either from experimenting or mistakes the better you play. It goes with life, and the more you experience and learn new things the smarter and wiser you get. – Nathan Varga, Melbourne, Australia
Play it big, play it loud – Drew Magee, Hobart, Australia
I didn’t fall in love with you. I walked into love with you. With my eyes wide open, choosing to take every step along the way. In a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality. I’d find you. And I’d choose you. (author unknown) – Kylie Wharton, Gold Coast Australia
The 7 have fallen …
Forever 8 we untied
United in 0 as 1
Together as 9
Free in our garden to eat all the fruit that is given to us.
We cry and quiver feeling the joy of God.
