Music Gals.

For the next episode we sit down with AJA, an experimental electronic sound artist whose performances are unforgettable. Aja experiments with rhythmic noise, channeling intense and mostly improvised performances through her live hardware setup. Collaborating with designer LU LA LOOP, Aja's costumes are bright, pink, bold and unique, pretty much works of art. Active in supporting the LGBTQ+ community, AJA worked hard to put on Nottingham event 'Queer Noise Club'. I got the chance to chat to Aja about her musical identity and how this has evolved, chatting about the processes behind the costumes and live installations she performs with, along with how she has handled the lack of live events; her main musical outlet. Aja has so much more to come and it was a pleasure to sit down and talk to her! Grab yourself a cup of whatever you fancy and enjoy the episode.

For the second episode of this series we sit down with Hex Poseur, talented solo artist with a wide style ranging from punk, grunge, rock and roll to everything in between. Hex Poseur hasn't been releasing long but she already has tonnes of material out already, her songs taking you on a journey through grungy and resonant dynamics whilst making us crave live shows with her dark and exhilarating choruses. We got the chance to talk about bringing together her band for the first time and continuing to release throughout the lockdown, collaborating with new people remotely and her journey to her first release, touching upon the woes of just simply getting stuff done right now as a musician. Thank you so much Harri for coming on! I urge you to go check out her music and physical vinyl release. Grab a cup of tea, coffee, g&t, whatever you fancy and hope you enjoy the episode.

Welcome to music gals. I am super excited to be here with the first episode of this series, where I am going to get the chance to sit down and chat to lots of incredibly talented and inspiring gals and non-binary working in the music industry, in order to offer support, inspiration and advice if you need it. In this episode I sit down with Grace Lee, an incredibly talented performer and songwriter. Grace's voice is powerful and unforgettable and her songs will touch your heart, and I am so happy to have her come on and talk about her pathway into music, her writing and recording process and her role in the band 'All Over Again'. I also got the chance to talk to Grace about finding things to post on social media in lockdown, and the woes of finding creativity when we aren't leaving the house. Thank you so much Grace for coming on, and I urge you to go check out her music! 

Grab a cup of tea, coffee, g&t, whatever you fancy. I really hope you enjoy the first episode and thank you so much for listening.
