    APN's interview with Chuey

    Chuey is a Sydney based Taiwanese-Australian songwriter and producer blending electronic sounds with heartfelt melodies that come together to create a nostalgic yet new sound. His singles ‘Anemoia’ and ‘Heritage’ are not only some of APN’s favourite tracks they have played on air, but also a homage to growing up in an Asian household and appreciating memories we overlook and take for granted as children. 🏠💛  In this interview Denise and Annabella talk to Chuey about his musical journey, from making remixes to writing songs for his high school - so many stories you do not want to miss hearing about. This interview went to air on August 1st and Chuey hints at a lot of new releases that have actually been announced since then! His highly anticipated debut album 'Playwright' releases this November 5th, and since this interview went to air, his latest single 'sometimes' was released 2 weeks ago as a part of 'act i' - listen now!
