How Do You Muse?

Hello! Today we have our final HDYM episode of the year and it is with none other than the incredibly talented Jerome Blazé ✭ I speak to him fresh off the back of the release of his sophomore album ‘

Hello! It's been a minute since I've dropped an episode but it's all worth the wait because today's ep is with the mesmerising Yasmina Sadiki!! Yasmina and her equally talented live band are definitely some of Sydney's hardest gigging artists ✩✩✩ Yasmina was an absolute gem to chat to, I asked her all about being an independent artist, when and when not to say yes to a gig offer, claiming live royalties for improvisation tracks and getting to know the music scene in NY. I feel like she is defs going places!!  Connect with HDYM on Instagram and TikTok

Hello! We have a freshh episode for you! Stoked to have had brothers Zaya & Nemo from Perth band South Summit on the poddy

Hello friendz! We're back with a new episode - chatting to the most Sydney of Sydney bands EGOISM ✩ their new tune ᴍᴇʟʙᴏᴜʀɴᴇ literally came about yesterday so I feel very lucky have had them on the poddy! egoism are tight as with their listeners and it's so cool to see how they've created such strong ties with their community

Happy Wednesday! Today's episode is with the totally cool & beautifully kind Sophie McComish!! 1/4 of punk rock band Body Type and 1/2 of Blossom Rot Records, Sophie has worked in many sides of the music industry whilst being the ultimate rockstar - supporting icons like the Pixies and the Foo Fighters. Sophie has done so many of the things us artists would dream of yet she's so real, relatable and honest!! 

Welcome back! This week I speak to concrete cowboys, The Slims ✭ **I apologise for the audio at the beginning, I promise it gets better at the 10min mark xx** As you'll hear this chat has been a long time coming after bonding over the fact we all had the same burning questions about how the music industry works! I've seen them play not once but twice this month as part of their #Slimtember residency at the hottest club in town, Pleasure Club Newtown, and I'm now responsible for a spike in streams for their banger, ‘Faces'! In this episode I ask them about their range of day-jobs, their growing South American fan base, what they think of the local Sydney music scene and whose in charge of the band bank account. I bloody loved this ep! Enjoy :) Follow HDYM on Instagram and TikTok

✩ Welcome back to How Do You Muse! I can't think of a better way to kick off this season than having the absolutely incredible Annie Hamilton on the podcast!! I've been in awe of Annie's project for a while now, it was her music that I first came across but have since been totally mesmerised by the world she has created for herself and her art - her quality & quantity of output is hard to grasp, particularly when you realise she has begun to release her music completely independently ✩ In this episode we talk about Iceland, hand-sewn sequins, girl tour, slut era, documentation, deadlines, and the fact that she's having an album launch at The Lansdowne, Sydney and you should 100% come! Annie is an iconic storyteller, enjoy xx Follow How Do You Muse on Instagram & TikTok

Hello wonderful people! If you've made it to episode 10 then wow congrats, if you're just chiming in now, then welcome. As I bring this season to a close I am so grateful for all the conversations this project has brought up. Turns out I am not the only one wanting to know how musicians are making it work!? I want to thank all the fabulous local bands and artists for sharing their experiences in the music industry and giving us the BTS of their musical journeys! On today's episode I was lucky enough to chat to my own band, Ned, Jas and Isaac! I decided to wing this episode a bit haha but we spoke their individual projects aswell as our recent tour and #bandlife. Hold tight, there shall be a season 2, there is still lots to talk about!! See you there.

We're back rolling! Today's episode is with

Welcome back! Today we have

Hello hello! Today we have

Hello again! Today I have a band I am *so* inspired by ꕤ I never had older sisters but if I did I would've wanted them to be Sweetie !! Every time I've taken someone along to a Sweetie show we leave with our jaws on the floor. The chemistry and conviction they have is unmatched【!】 We also break the HDYM record of having the most amount of band members on the pod so far so please forgive some of the audio quality, but what lacks there is all made up for in top quality chat.  In this episode we talk about giving yourself permission to start a band at any age, the emotional rollercoaster of headlining the main room at the OAF and what it means to be a part of a female-lead music community! They also agreed to play at my wedding so someone put a ring on my finger asap xoxo It's a goodie! Be warned, we laugh a lot. To connect head to How Do You Muse?
