Justine Firth-Herbert, a.k.a. Fiji Mermaid, is a songwriter residing in
Sacramento, California, who is receiving positive responses when singing
at various venues.
Justine sang in choir in high school and in college, studied voice, and
after college played keyboards
in a Nineties punk/psychedelic/noise band that gigged in San Francisco.
She discovered the benefits of singing and playing
at low volume when she moved into a quiet living space in SF,
left the band, and became a singer-songwriter person.
She writes all her own music, based on nature, small creatures,
and internal dialogues.
Instruments:
classical guitar, voice, keyboards
Influences: Lots of music(s)
Releases:
One 5 song EP, released 2001, "Fiji Mermaid";
One lp, released 2005, "Green Pond"
