This episode I chat to Alisha Todd, half of the new Gold Coast indie-pop duo, Geniie Boy. They have been two years in the making and have now joined forces to release their debut single, Fool’s Play, out 5 February. Alisha shares with us her travelling adventures and playing music in Ibiza as an amazing experience.

A collaboration between singer-songwriter, Alisha Todd, and award-winning producer and multi-instrumentalist, Scott French, these seasoned musicians are creating ear worms with hooks, beats and harmonies that will keep you humming happily for days.

“I met Scotty when I came home and we instantly started working together on our solo projects. We realised we share a vision to make music that is honest and uplifting and that our individual processes in songwriting and in the studio perfectly complement each other.”

Hailing from the regional Queensland town, Gympie, this first single, Fool’s Play is about Alisha visiting her hometown and childhood friend after being away for so long.

“I came home to find my friend at a crossroads in life and it reminded me of myself a few years ago. This song is basically about one of the things only an old bestie can say to you... ‘stop being a fool, fool!’”

Produced by French in his commercial studio, Lovestreet Studios, this is the first glimpse from Geniie Boy’s debut EP, which is slated for release in 2021.
