19-year-old Georgia Germein is an Australian, Adelaide-based singer/songwriter who has been developing her musical craft since she was four years of age. She is a multi-instrumentalist and gifted composer who has won a number of prestigious awards including seven ASME Young Composers Awards and the 2007 South Australian Premier's Award. She was also a semi finalist in the 2007 International Songwriting Competition. Georgia's entry in the 2009 Young Bloods Radio competition to promote blood donation was the National winner, earning her advertisement airplay on Nova nationally. Georgia's songs are wide-ranging in theme, richly evocative, deeply heartfelt and reflect her musical journey over many years. They draw on her experience of growing up in the bush in the Adelaide Hills combined with her commitment to the Environment, Indigenous Reconciliation, her work in the Kalahari, South Africa and Nepal as World Vision's 2010 Youth Ambassador. A palette of intricate melodies and shimmering harmonies, dynamic arrangements and subtle reference to a diverse range of musical references is that of Georgia's music; all complemented by the soaring purity and precision of her vocal delivery. Georgia is passionate and highly committed to her music with a message. "You are a visionary, for someone so young.... I know you understand this deeply and I know you will always use your songs and your music to great effect. Thank you for being a part of my life and reminding me that great things can be achieved in the hands of extraordinary creativity"...
