Career

Mustaine moved to Fallbrook, California at age 5 and started pursuing a career in musical theater at age 7. She began to practice singing in hopes of one day becoming a prominent figure in the world musical theater & acting. Electra was co-host of Animal Planet's TV show, Faithful Friends "Itty Bitty Buddy" segment with WWE wrestler Bill Goldberg's wife, Wanda. Electra would continue to frequent Los Angeles for auditions and acting classes. As Electra Mustaine built her voice, her love for music began to flourish above all else. "I had my first recital at the local theater in my hometown Mission Theater and I remember my dad had just gotten off tour, and my mom was sitting next to him in the seats. Well, he slept through the whole show until I came on. I started singing and I actually woke him up. He said to my mom, 'Who is that?' And my mom said, 'That's your daughter.'" says Mustaine. That's when her family started to support her pursuit of a musical career. Mustaine began performing at fairgrounds and small gigs & venues around San Diego County and even in Chicago. In 2013, she performed a cover of her father's band's song, "A Tout le Monde" by Megadeth on Seattle's KING-TV and having a benefit concert for the Ward 57 Wounded Warrior Project to raise funds for wounded veterans and their families.[4]

In 2016, Mustaine released her cover of "I Thought I Knew It All", a Megadeth song from the album Youthanasia, and her first original composition, "Life Is Good" written by Electra Mustaine, Nathan Chapman, and Blair Daly. She also performed at the 2016 CMA Music Festival.[3]
