Naarm-based alternative pop artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist Umbra Moon joins Brett and Scott on JOY Breakfast for a chat about their cinematic dark-pop sound, life as a completely independent artist and the hustle behind building a music career from the ground up.

With Wear It Purple Day approaching, Umbra also reflects on what a colourful queer future looks like to them: marriage, community, plenty of queer events and, of course, lots more music.

Plus, there’s a tease of a brand-new love song that Umbra thinks might just be their best yet.
