Greta Stanley Full Grown

Let Love In

Greta Stanley is an animal-loving indoor plant "technician" with a tendency to over think things, who comes from a small rural town that you have never heard of… You should, however, hear her music.

When Greta was eight years old her family moved to a small rural town called Mena Creek in Far North Queensland. An introverted child, Greta's father bought her a guitar at aged 13 and from that time on she almost obsessively started writing music. Building herself a sanctuary in her bedroom and immersing herself in her own creative reality, Greta wrote her debut EP -Bedroom City' about this time, amassing a song catalogue of over 100 songs at just 22 years old.

Inspired by a vast range of musical influences ranging from Soko and Daughter to Cat Power andCigarettes After Sex, along with cues from fellow Australian's Thelma Plum, Lisa Mitchell, and Sarah Blasko, Greta found a way to deal with the world through music.

Releasing her EP in 2015, Greta burst onto the live circuit supporting the likes of Boy and Bear, The Rubens, Kingswood, and Emma Louise. What followed was a Qld Music Award nomination – significant airplay on national and local radio, rotation on triple j unearthed, placing #3 on the Overall Triple J Unearthed charts, and stacking up over 1million+ Spotify Streams.

After her 2016 East Coast tour Greta then spent eight months in Melbourne playing gigs every weekend throughout Brunswick and Fitzroy, before returning to her home of Far North Queensland gearing up to release her debut LP.

It was a big leap as a teenager the day she decided to begin a Regional tafe course in Cairns and share her music out into the world outside her own four walls. After making that decision she won an industry scholarship and was introduced to Producer Mark Myers (ex the Middle East) who's exceptional technical and musical skills have complemented Greta's songs – and made for an ongoing creative friendship, with Mark joining the band for live performances.

-Full Grown' delves into what it means to grow up. It's about learning to accept the things that life throws your way, and that change is inevitable in this often-overwhelming world. It addresses the dark times of youth while trying to find the sun, and remembering that it will always rise in the morning.

Over the course of the 13 tracks Greta explores how to 'let love in" and how to 'let love leave" and how to make the choice on what to be, how to be, and ultimately leaving you with the feeling that everything will, in the end, be alright.
