21.01.2022 Castlemaine musician Maya Rose has just released her new single, 'Mind The Gap', and it's a track that captures the fury people have felt worldwide as a result of the #MeToo movement, and the inequality that is present throughout all facets of society.

16.01.2022 Embracing my love of Weet-Bix to help me through the last couple days of September, as I'm growing a mullet to support Black Dog Institute's Mullets For Mental Health campaign.

13.01.2022 There's a good reason why I'm dressed like Sam Draper - it's in support of the Black Dog Institute's Mullets For Mental Health campaign. Supporting mental health is something I strongly believe in, and I'm excited to raise some much-needed funds for them: https://bit.ly/3E75KAl
03.01.2022 Melbourne musician James McGuffie is on a new musical path, and he's planting the seeds for success. On his new track, 'Lemon Tree', you'll connect with James like never before. If you enjoy #BruceSpringsteen or #PaulKelly, then you'll like this: https://bit.ly/3lyicQB

02.01.2022 Just published my second piece for NME Australia, and it's one I'm really proud of writing.

01.01.2022 I'm absolutely floored by Sammy Honeysett's new track 'I C UR LIPS'. It's as ferocious as it is restrained, and it's going to be on rotation for a long while. If you love artists like #AliBarter or #PhoebeBridgers, then check this out: https://bit.ly/38BOHIs
