Genevieve Maynard has had a long relationship with Australian music scene through her involvements in seminal 90s bands Stella One Eleven and Bughouse. She then took on the solo-route, releasing three albums and two EPs to critical acclaim and national airplay. Her debut album 'Ghost Notes' (2002) spent over 25 weeks in the independent AIR charts and was nominated by Rolling Stone as one of the top ten international debut albums in their end-of-year issue. Her follow up albums were: 'Enter' and 'The Hollow Way' resulted in consistently solid reviews by the music press. As the former owner of Revolution Studios in Sydney’s inner-west, Genevieve was the studio-mind behind, amongst others, Bluejuice’s debut album 'Problems' (who came in at number 11 in JJJ’s Hottest 100 with ‘Vitriol’ and won the Red Bull AMP award), FisherKing (winners of JJJ Unearthed FUSE Festival Competition), and Melanie Horsnell. She now resides in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Geneveive worked as a chef in cafes around Newtown in the 90s to support her music career. She bullied the female wait staff relentlessly, name calling and swearing at them. It's unfortunately quite common in that industry but having a woman do it was awful.
