52. Meet Singer Songwriter Sue Ray: From Country Queen to Jazz Storyteller
In this episode, I sit down with the glorious Sue Ray — proud Gamilaraay woman, award-winning singer-songwriter, and true genre-bending powerhouse. We talk country roots, punk beginnings, a deep love of jazz, and the long, beautiful road from 1am Troubadour gigs to Nina Simone tributes at Brisbane Powerhouse. Expect Brisbane nostalgia, music memories, big laughs, and even bigger heart.
EP 51. Inside the Creative Mind & Life of a Harmony Queen – Alex Van den Broek
In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant Alex Van den Broek — arranger, choral director, singer-songwriter, and true harmony queen. We talk creative process, building spine-tingling vocal arrangements, and what it really takes to grow an audience — including how Alex built a TikTok following of nearly 300K through viral harmony videos. We also get honest about knock-backs, imposter syndrome, and navigating a creative life with both ambition and grace.
Ep. 50 – Growing Pains & Creative Breakthroughs with Clare Hudson
In this milestone episode, I sit down with singer-songwriter Clare Hudson ahead of her debut show Growing Pains — a heartfelt journey through originals, covers, and the moments that shaped her voice. We talk classical training, creative burnout, imposter syndrome, and finding your way back to music through community and self-trust. Honest, gentle, and deeply relatable, this episode is for anyone who’s ever stepped away from their dream — and felt the pull to return.
Ep. 49 Loving Your Voice & Letting It Take You Places: How?! ❤️🔥🧿🎤
In this episode, I dive into what it really means to love your voice — and how that relationship can shape your confidence, creativity, and opportunities on and off the stage. I share the moment (yes, involving an actual cyclone) that pushed me to finally create the Vocal Love Club, why self-love isn’t woo but practical, and how simple daily vocal rituals can shift the way you show up for your voice. Grounded, honest, and deeply practical — this one’s an invitation to start backing yourself properly.
