  1. Can music and A.I. Harmonise? with Anie Fann

    Can music and A.I. Harmonise? with Anie Fann

    Singapore based Taiwanese-Canadian singer-songwriter Anie Fann has carved a niche for herself within Taiwan’s indie scene as an artist who is as genre-bending as she is cerebral. Preferring to focus on modern problems that society presents us rather than stock-standard themes of romance and fluff, the inquisitive singer-songwriter has in the last few years begun exploring the digital ethics of technological innovation and more interestingly, A.i. A polarising and vast topic whose possibilities threatens to simultaneously overtake and boost human creative potential to the next level, we picked Anie’s brain on her relationship with A.I., and how she sees it transform our relationship with our creative selves. Welcome Anie, to the fluffle podcast!

    On staying warm like the sun with Valentina Ploy

    When I first met Thai-Italian singer-songwriter Valentina Ploy, the thing that stood out to me the most was her warm, genuine energy that infected every room she was in. An artist that truly wears her heart on her sleeve, she has gone from strength to strength, gaining significant support for her music digitally, to opening for Coldplay last year. Now as an independent artist, we chatted to her in Bali at AXEAN festival about how she continues to keep her heart open despite the challenges life throws at her. And as the finale episode to the first season of the fluffle podcast, THANK YOU for sticking around. Drop us a comment on who you’d like us to interview in season 2 or what topics you’d like me to discuss! We love you! Warmest welcome for the last time on this season of the fluffle podcast to Valentina!

  3. On returning to oneself with Anna Chong莊啓馨 (中文)

    On returning to oneself with Anna Chong莊啓馨 (中文)

    My conversation with Malaysian singer-songwriter Anna Chong caught me completely off guard. What started off as a casual conversation about her trip to Singapore turned quickly into a deeply existential conversation about Anna’s relationship with her artistry as a musician with over 16 years of experience under her belt. It seems her relationship with her artistry not only sustains her financially and physically, but is just as much an important spiritual lifeline for her. The only catch is - we did this interview fully in Mandarin. So for those who can speak Mandarin, 我們要開始練習中文啦!For those who don’t, scrub to 33:52 for a tldr reflection from me in English about the interview! Welcoming Anna to the fluffle podcast.

    On being cute, chaotic and critical with Amber Akilla

    In the heat of summer I made my way to one of my favourite cities in the world, Shanghai to interview one of my favourite all time podcast hosts and creators, Amber Akilla. DJ, music curator, host of the friend crush podcast, Amber is iconic for her radical perspectives on feminism, culture and her life philosophy of being hot and having fun which has sparked many an interesting discussion on the possibilities for women and queer individuals in today's society. While it was the first time we've met in person, we connected deeply on our roots growing up in Perth, Western Australia and our views on navigating the music industry and life as individuals from the diaspora. So excited to share this super fun conversation with you, and welcome Amber Akilla to the fluffle podcast!

  5. On transformation & picking up the pieces with Jaguar Jonze

    On transformation & picking up the pieces with Jaguar Jonze

    Jaguar Jonze is a longtime friend, whose titles are getting longer each time we meet. A Taiwanese Australian independent singer songwriter, visual artist, photographer and now certified freediving instructor, her message of empowerment is one that ties closely with her lived experience, as she continues to inspire audiences with her ability to balance vulnerability and strength in her work. On this episode of the podcast, she got vulnerable with us about how recent health issues have pushed her past her lived limits, to embrace uncertainty, brokenness and her humanity in life-changing ways. Jaguar's art has often revolved around finding light in the darkness and beauty in broken pieces; here she reminds us of what a transformative act mending yourself can be, even when you don't feel broken. The biggest and warmest welcome for Jaguar to the fluffle podcast!
