One of the first "music cyber stars", due to the ability to distribute her music primarily via the Internet, Australian Singer/songwriter Axella Johannesson was born January 11, 1958 in Mount Vernon, New York, United States. In 1989, Johannesson moved to Traralgon in Victoria, Australia, where she later remarried and continues to reside.

Johannesson never liked eating meat, and gave it up in late childhood. She did the same for religion, and has been an avowed atheist since before her teens.
