Singer/songwriter Penelope Austin wrote her first song at the age of 15 while growing up in the Southern Highlands of NSW, Australia on a guitar that she taught herself to play. She moved to New York at the age of 18 and travel marked the years that followed as Austin continued to compose, her guitar rambling with her through South America, Africa, Indonesia and even back stage on tour with the Rolling Stones on an adventure stumbled upon by a chance encounter - a theme that has continued to prosper in her world.
In late 2012 Penelope Austin headed home to write and record her debut EP, which will be released later this year. There is an ethereal sense about her that begins with her voice, at times delicate and other times raw, and then stretches into an invented landscape populated by Austin's elemental images.
