🔥 What We Talk About:

There's a real authenticity around Copperline, and I love that sort of folk experience that you're bringing back into Australian music.

What I've really learned in the last couple of years is to, especially if you're doing original music, see it as a community. There are great people out there doing the same thing that you're doing, and I think you can really draw a lot of strength from becoming part of the community.

My favorite line here is 'digging up old bones and hiding them in songs.'

• If I can just keep instilling hope through my music and keeping it a really fun atmosphere, all these people are going to connect—through the animals, through the music, through the lyrics—from toddlers right through to the granddad that hasn't been off his place for 12 months.

🔥 What We Talk About:

Your music is like a kaleidoscope of three or four different genres all sort of blended into a blender and what comes out at the end is really quite unique.

I basically let music completely flow through me with no obstacle and no judgment—whatever comes through me from the universe, I allow out with as little judgment as possible.

I put a strong emphasis on my live performances and I really make a serious concerted focus of not relating earning money with music, because I think it puts an agenda on the art form.
