Fallbrook’s Electra Mustaine celebrates new single ‘Life Is Good’

Music has always been a great way to celebrate how fantastic life can truly be, and Fallbrook’s Electra Mustaine has taken her love of music and transformed it into a song that she can share with the world.

“Life is Good” is Mustaine’s new single, which released on Aug. 5 on SiriusXM Radio’s “The Highway” (ch. 56).

“Life has honestly been so great for me,” said Mustaine, who is a blossoming country music star. “I’ve had the chance to write with amazing people who have the same vision as I do, like Nathan Chapman and Blair Daly (both highly acclaimed country music writers).”

Her new single was inspired by her life’s successes, combined with her nervousness about working with celebrity writers.

“I was so nervous to write with Nathan Chapman,” said Mustaine. “He’s a very big name here in town (Nashville, Tenn.) and throughout the world. I didn’t know what I wanted to write about, and I was praying in bed, and turned on the TV. I heard someone say ‘Life is good,’ and I knew that was what I was going to write about.”

Mustaine is not necessarily following a traditional teenage journey to success. Like her father, Dave Mustaine, founder of the rock band Megadeth, Electra is herself a bit of a rebel. She chose to make a name for herself in something completely different from expectations – yet more true to who she is: country music. While college may be an option for this 18-year-old at some point down the line, Mustaine feels that her priority is her passion: music.

“I am constantly writing, and have been on the NASCAR circuit," said Mustaine. "I believe that if you have a plan B, you can’t do your plan A. I love to meet fans and share my music and play live. I love being close with fans, and can do that regardless of how big the crowd is. I’m actually less nervous around more

people, and I have Mission Theater to thank for that.”

Currently, Mustaine is living her dream of singing around the country. Since moving to Nashville in 2014 at age 16, Mustaine has had opportunities to write her music then travel the world to share her new song. Mustaine hopes that her fans and family back home can enjoy her music and request her song on their favorite country station.

“This is a song that represents summer," said Mustaine. "I would drive down the Pacific Coast Highway with the top down on my jeep with the song just blasting. That’s the vibe of the song. My music is made to make people feel, and this song is made for people to be happy.”
