Give us a short description your music: I'm a Brisbane artist who mixes textured electronic music with R&B.

What is the best thing musically that's happened to you so far? Winning the triple j Unearthed competition and playing to a packed-out Oh Hello! for BIGSOUND last year. Getting a booking agent and Aus label deal out of the show was definitely a highlight.

What industry lessons would you like to take away from the BIGSOUND conference? Always keen to hear people with history and experience talk about their experiences and how they navigated the music world!

Why should people come and see you among the many cool bands at BIGSOUND? haha umm... If you like the music, I guess. I've put a lot of thought into how to perform electronic music in an engaging way with lots of transitions and surprises.

What acts are on your must see list at BIGSOUND? My pals OKBadlands, super keen to see Lonelyspeck for the first time, Cub Sport, Hatchie, Willaris K! What a line-up!

What do you reckon your percentage mix of business vs partying will be at BIGSOUND? Look, I reckon 40/60, that's fair.

When and where is your BIGSOUND showcase? 5 Sep, TBC Club.
