Chelsea Bognuda

Auckland, New Zealand

Actor, Musician

I'm not your average young artist. I have a GREAT love of old music discovered while surrounded by dusty records in my Grandads garage in Bulls when I was small. Louis Armstrong, Sarah Vaughn, Del Vikings, Patsy Cline among many. There's something so "alive" in that music. I'm a bit of a fashion nut with my own style. I could live in an op shop and love the sound of any music vintage and old. I would love to travel with my old brown suitcase and sing old tunes for the rest of my life.
