WHICH AUSTRALIAN BAND' CAN'T YOU GET ENOUGH OF?
Headwreck
BEST GIG YOU PLAYED THIS YEAR AND WHY?
Album launches at The Bird (Perth) and Cherry Bar (Melbourne) because they were both sold out shows!! Also I get to be supported with band members who are closest to me in Perth (my kuya’s) and in Melbourne (my homies)
TELL US ABOUT A CAREER HIGHLIGHT YOU HAD IN 2025
My first indie label signing with Year Of The Rat (UK) helped me gain massive support from Spotify editors. This helped me reach over 200k monthly listeners and over 10k followers. I also built friendships with so many artists which made me more confident in doing collab projects with them.
ANY SNEAK PEEKS OF INBOUND PLANS NEXT YEAR?
I’m writing new songs for my new EP, and I’ll have an Australian tour to announce!
BEST ADVICE GOING INTO 2026?
“Remember why you started. Keep experimenting, keep learning, and keep showing up. Consistency wins more than talent alone. Surround yourself with people who hype you up, not dim your shine. Build with your tribe — the ones who believe in what you’re becoming”
