Milandra is a Melbourne-based singer, songwriter, actress, and
multi-disciplinary creative force known for her raw honesty, theatrical
flair, and soulful blend of pop, rock, and 80s-inspired sounds. Her music is
emotionally charged, visually striking, and rooted in truth—drawing from
personal experiences to tell stories that both challenge and comfort.
Nicknamed the “Impatient Girl” after her
feel-good single, Milandra embodies fearless reinvention and artistic
authenticity. Her latest single, “COLD”, produced by Damon
Smith and featuring Claira-J and Kamanu Dennis, fuses vulnerability with
bold pop-soul stylings, marking another step in her evolution.
Early Roots & Musical Journey
Theatrically trained in dance from age three, Milandra’s performance
journey began on stage, singing classics by Judy Garland and Nina Simone
while immersed in ballet and musical theatre. Inspired by icons like
Madonna, Annie Lennox, Belinda Carlisle, and Janet Jackson, she developed a
love for powerful, expressive performance.
In her 20s, she drove hours to her uncle’s home studio, pouring emotions
into original songs—long before social media and streaming platforms. These
sessions shaped her emotionally rich songwriting and signature sound. Later,
she fronted various rock, pop, and soul bands, honing her collaborative and
leadership skills while captivating audiences with her voice—a paradoxical
blend of jazz-like depth and youthful innocence.
Stage to Screen & Everything In Between
Milandra’s creative ambition extends beyond music. Trained at the Victorian
College of the Arts and Screen Acting Melbourne with Director & Producer
Rohan Jones, as well as under actress Simone Buchanan at Film & TV Studio
International, she brings emotional truth to both screen and sound. She’s
starred as a lead in several short films and strives to elevate her music
videos into cinematic experiences.
As a producer, director, and storyteller, Milandra is editing the music
video for “Moment”—a powerful narrative about bullying and
self-identity, portraying a redhead high school student with a rare
hair-pulling condition. Her provocative video for
“Pornography” is, in her words, “sure to turn heads and possibly make you feel
uncomfortable while leaving you wanting more.”
Discography & Current Work
Her debut EP, Disloyal Proximal Phalanges, showcases her
eclectic style and emotional depth. Standout tracks include:

Milandra is currently collaborating with Jah
Nix Productions in the studio and on Instagram, writing her next album in
real time, inviting
fans into her creative process.
A Personal Mission with Purpose
More than a performer, Milandra is a mother, fighter, and advocate for
self-expression. Her upcoming single “Peachy Cream”, set
for release in October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, is a tribute to
her gorgeous mum and the powerful women who’ve shaped her life—an anthem of
feminine strength and love.
After taking time off to raise her son and manage the family’s IT business,
Milandra returned post-COVID with renewed purpose, seeing it as her second
chance to create, perform, and connect through art.
