    ........ .. .. .. .. .. .. JOIN US ONLINE! ........ ...... ...... ...... .................... .... .. .. .. .. .. ...................... .. ..Djiva Biography..........The award-winning group Djiva is a West Australian act fronted by two female vocalists who perform cruisey infusions of gutsy soul, folk and roots. Djiva exhibit an earthy sensuality, an independence of spirit and a fresh contemporary feel, and the voices of the two women blend with the ease of old friends, creating a vocal palette rich in colour and texture.....Djiva (Jeeva) is Jessie Lloyd, a Murri from North Queensland and Della Rae Morrison, a Noongar of the South West of Western Australia.....Singing in English and traditional languages, the pair has been performing with their 3 piece band since 2004, releasing their debut EP the same year. Despite its low key release, the EP received Australia-wide airplay and the band was subsequently featured on ABC TV's Message Stick.....In 2007 Djiva released its debut album “Yowarliny” to wide acclaim. Picking up the 2007 NAIDOC Perth Award for Artist of the Year, Djiva also won the 2007 WA Music Industry Song of the Year - World & Folk catagory and was nominated at both the 2008 and 2009 WAMi Awards as WA's Best Indigenous Act. .... ...... ......“...the year's most spectacular celebration of Indigenous music…” Xpress Magazine..........Invitations from some of Australia's most prestigious festivals followed, and the band has since performed at the Perth International Arts Festival, The Dreaming Festival, Barunga Festival, WA Music Industry Awards Night 2009, Songlines, Adelaide Fringe, Fairbridge, Nannup and Naidoc Corroboration, and played supports for internationally acclaimed acts Archie Roach, Yothu Yindi, Renee Geyer and Paul Kelly. ....In March 2008 Djiva performed alongside Shane Howard, John Butler and Australia's best Indigenous artists as part of the 32 piece Helpmann Award-winning ‘Murundak - The Black Arm Band' concert ensemble in Perth... .. .......... .. .. ..

    It was such a culture shock to have my daughter start school and for us stand in one place all year but it's been a massive healing time for everyone and just as well we did stand still considering what has been manifesting!! It may seem so very hard at times but the difficulties are the mirror for the beautiful possibilities inside of us and between us! I appreciate it when you share warm fuzzies and updates about your own experiences and ways of being. You can be a teacher and an inspiration. x x x
