    S2 EP:07 How Do You Muse? Jerome Blazé

    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 ‘𝐿𝒾𝓋𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝑅𝑜𝑜𝓂’ and in the lead up to his album launch that happened last week at The Lansdowne (which I very sadly couldn’t go to and had major fomo). Jerome was super generous with letting me in on the BTS of his impressive album campaign. We talk all things KEXP, BIGSOUND, live setups/arrangements and burnout. This chat was such a pleasure! I can’t wait to see where Jerome ends up 🧡 Connect with HDYM on Instagram and TikTok

    S2 EP:06 How Do You Muse? Yasmina Sadiki

    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

    S2 EP:02 How Do You Muse? The Slims

    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

    S2 EP:01 How Do You Muse? Annie Hamilton

    ✩ 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
