Welcome to Stranger in my Own City, a series from MTV that takes two complete strangers, from two different musical genres for a stage dive into each others world.

With 73,000 live music performances happening around Melbourne each and every year, there's a show (and genre) for everyone. But what happens when we mix two strangers from two completely different musical genres?

For this episode, we meet two Melbourne-based singers: James Ellis, a honky tonk country fella and heavy metal punk rocker Jelena Goluza.
