About Wendy

Wendy Murray, Musical Chameleon

Wendy’s voice is warm, rich melting chocolate, emotionally charged, sometimes raw, always heartfelt.

She moves effortlessly from sultry blues, smooth latin jazz, swinging jazz, quirky cabaret, beautiful folk, world and pop melodies, to Argentinian Tango and the captivating Persian Prayer.

Wendy has travelled widely and has performed nationally and internationally in Vanuatu, Cuba, Italy, France, Germany, Ireland, Wales and London and New York.

She is currently studying for a master’s degree whilst teaching voice, guitar and musicianship. Wendy is a music therapist working with trauma and disability.
