ELABORATE STATION'S  BACKGROUND

Foreword

We're a band with diversity….

We're a band of people containing blood in our veins…

We find our sanity, our unity through the expression of our music….

the history

Since Monya began learning to talk, singing became a part of her expression!

Having a strong musical background in her home environment that flourishing with music appreciation, she found herself (even at a young age) transforming her search for answers to life into lyrics and melody… 

Monya grew up in Centurion, Pretoria with her small, but close nit family.

Her Primary School years were spent at Springvale Primary
where on her final year she won the 1995 Springvale Primary Music Award. This occurrence was a serious faith boost that encouraged her to believe that anything is possible and that no dream is too big for His Grace... 

With a lot of help and encouragement from friends and family she began her quest of musicianship…

Hookin' up some guitar lessons and penning some thoughts, her discovery for the love of guitar began the development of her unique sound and songwriting.

Monya'a musical experimentation was steadily begining to 'snowball'...

Shortly after came the birth of a project called Crystal Iris for which Monya and some friends produced some demo tracks and gigged around at a few places using the back tracks they produced and a guitar or bass (mostly one or two man acts)..

The project had potential but still…something was lacking….off coarse.... a band!…

Monya then began her second and current project "Elaborate Station" in which she's invested countless hours into new and fresh songwriting...

So go ahead and take a listen to Elaborate Station's latest tracks... and stay intouch!!
