"It is a feeling of relief, almost of pleasure, at knowing yourself at last genuinely down and out. You have talked so often of going to the dogs - and well, here are the dogs, and you have reached them, and you can stand it." - George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London.

Australian singer-songwriter Dustin Tebbutt found himself alone in the harsh Winter of Sweden - with plans that had gone south...and that was where he began to create his incredible solo music, which now has over 200 million streams on Spotify.
