Luke Laux is the founder of the Gentlemen's Choir, a group brought together to harness the power of shared singing. 

The men involved are of all ages and singing abilities  and, according to Luke, experienced a marked transformation thanks to their 12 weeks in the choir. 

Luke swung by Get Cereal to tell us about the group's origins, why it's so important for men and how we can experience the same magic. 

The Gentlemen's Choir has its big performance at the Abbotsford Convent this Tuesday. Get your tickets here.

Aidan Jones has toured the world with his stand-up comedy and is just coming off a hilarious run playing 'Chopin's Nocturne' in between laughs at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

He's about to zoom around Australia for a whole lot more shows (get your tickets here), but first he hit up the SYN studio for a chat and tickle of his trusty keyboard.

In the middle of a monumental campaign, Samantha Ratnam chose to speak with us -not about policies or polling, but about something far more personal. Why? Because for Samantha, music isn’t just a passion - it’s a love tightly woven into her sense of self. 

Listen as the Victorian Greens leader-turned-federal parliament hopeful takes us from war in Sri Lanka to airport bag checks to the halls of high-profile politics, all through the rhythms and harmonies of three songs that shaped her: her Keeping Tracks. 

• 'Resolution' by Matt Corby 

• 'Everything Is Everything' by Lauryn Hill 

• 'Underdog' by Alicia Keys 

This conversation shouldn't tell you how to vote, but it might offer something rarer: a glimpse into the person behind one of this election’s most pivotal candidacies. 

Enjoy.
