Lea Maalfrid — vocalist with Ragnarok .....
Lea Maalfrid Stevens was born in 1950 and grew up in Alexandra, Central Otago where her father played double bass, and her mother was an artist. As a small girl, she loved playing the piano – especially when no one else was around – and began writing funny little songs while studying classical piano for a decade. Lea arrived in Dunedin at just 15, wide-eyed with long blonde hair and already keen to forge a career in music. She formed a group called Leaway, yet she once described rock bands as horrendous – too loud, too transient. Ironically her most prominent performance while at Otago was playing a Janis Joplin-style singer in a lavish 1973 student production based on the film of Joe Cocker’s Mad Dogs and Englishman tour. |
