DUSTY SESSIONS: Singer-Songwriter Showcase
Hosted by Kelsey Jean

Featuring:
Georgia Ray
Georgia Ray is an independent singer-songwriter based in Melbourne. Influenced by the likes of Avril Lavigne, The Lemonheads and Tegan and Sara, she has been playing and writing music ever since she can remember. Georgia's songs are a unique concoction of americana, pop, rock and folk styles, exposing her raw narratives of love, loss and hope. Georgia released her new 4-track EP 'No One's Calling' on November 30, featuring the singles ‘Hypnotherapy’ and 'Regret It', and is excited to continue performing for audiences across Melbourne and working on more new music in 2024.

DUSTY SESSIONS: Singer-Songwriter Showcase
Hosted by Kelsey Jean

Featuring: Hologram Sam
Hologram Sam is Evan Jones, a Melbourne artist with an enduring love of the harmonies of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, the dense and mysterious guitar tunings of Joni Mitchell and the surreal lyrical worlds of Bob Dylan. This isn't throwback music, though, sharing the same land as artists like Aldous Harding, Cut Worms and Mapache. Sometimes the best way to move forward is to look to the past. And then I guess walk forward whilst not looking, hoping for the best. Don't do this near roads or construction sites.

New Podcast Episode: Just Let Yourself Create
Ft. Yaru: https://www.instagram.com/yaru_himself/

I'm sure most of us don't take New Years Resolutions too seriously, however it can be a good excuse to check in on how we're living at the time. We take a look at how we'd like to approach creativity differently this year.
However mostly we talk about Tasmania for some reason.
Enjoy.

Featuring: Yaru https://www.instagram.com/yaru_himself/
⁠
Bio - "Arash Salavatian, your humble artist-architect extraordinaire, was born in Tehran's ancient realms in the year 1368 (Muhammad years, aka 1990 in Jesus years). Armed with a degree from Melbourne's RMIT University, he embarked on a musical odyssey at the tender age of 10, starting with the mystical violin (aka every 10 year olds dream musical instrument) and later washing down the depression with some bass lines during his tumultuous teen years.

In 2012, he ventured to Australia, in pursuit of knowledge. Now, wielding a degree and a good dose of humor, he gracefully maneuvers the world of architecture. But wait, there's more! By night, he transforms into the enigmatic "Yaru," crafting musical tales and slowly unraveling the mysteries of recording his debut album. It's a humble journey, sprinkled with a pinch of humor, a dash of architectural wisdom, a symphony of musical notes and zero poetry. But he's very keen though."⁠

New Podcast Episode: Marketing our anxiety

https://youtu.be/Z58fnJl5PU4

This week's quest is Evan from Malibu Spacey: https://www.instagram.com/malibuspacey/

It can be a strange feeling to market/sell your music that is written about extremely personal topics. Especially for musicians who find the act of releasing music stress-inducing at the best of times.

We also dive into the world of review culture and more.

New Podcast Episode: 79 - Never tell me the odds

Should we be more considerate of the odds of success as artists? Does it just drag you down? Or does blatantly ignoring the odds set you up for a sense of failure?

PROJECT || LEGACY - VOL #6 featuring: Nyuon
Deep, brooding and bristling with style, Melbourne hip hop artist NYUON has a sound that is always on the move. Regarded by those who live the scene, as one of the city's finest lyricists and most interesting rappers, he's developed a reputation for high-end narratives over the past few years. With streams in the millions, NYUON's back-catalog is impressive but only half the story. His ability to surprise and intrigue with new releases builds a presentiment in his audience, one that feels like an ascending rollercoaster.

Ry here. Got some musings on offering value in place of being extroverted, good at marketing or networking. I'm sure many can relate.

New Podcsat Episode: Deeper Context | Episode 077

Today we're joined by Thomas and Ryuu

Can we disconnect art from the artists? Or is this indeed a fools errand and in fact denying the art of much needed context.
