Before the stage, the tours, and the recognition… there was a girl writing songs at 9 years old, already feeling deeply and seeing the world differently.

In this episode, I sit down with Tali — one of New Zealand’s most iconic voices in electronic music — for a real, honest conversation about what it actually takes to build a life outside the norm.

We get into:

•  Growing up with music and finding her voice early 
•  Moving overseas and breaking into the UK scene 
•  The highs, the burnout, and the pressure behind the scenes 
•  Money, success, and what actually matters 
•  Navigating a male-dominated industry as a woman 
•  The power of community and women supporting women 
•  Learning to trust yourself, your intuition, and your path 
•  And what it means to keep showing up — on your own terms 

This is a conversation about reinvention, resilience, and refusing to shrink — no matter your industry, your age, or what people expect of you.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit the mould… this one’s for you.
