We're stopping everything to talk to two trail blazers in the Australian music industry, Jen Cloher and Jaguar Jonze.

Jen Cloher's new album, I Am The River, The River Is Me is a powerful collection of songs inspired by Jen's matrilineal line of wāhine Māori. Jen told BW and BL in 2022 that the lead single, Mana Takatāpui is a loving tribute to queer Maori identity.

Jaguar Jonze is creating major change after a series of post it notes shared on social media sparked a nationwide review into bullying and sexual assault in the Australian music industry. BW spoke to Jaguar in February 2022 about songwriting, advocacy and performing during the pandemic.
