Alice Skye Signs To Briggs' Bad Apples Music Label

It's been announced today that Alice Skye has signed to Bad Apples Music, the label founded by rapper Briggs.

"I usually overthink things until I can’t make a decision but taking the steps to sign to Bad Apples Music just made sense to me," shared Skye. 

"They have been so supportive and generous to me since we first met. It does feel ironic to be among such staunch and strong rappers when that is quite opposite of what I am, but I love the idea that there can be staunchness in shyness and that Bad Apples believe in that too.

"I have such admiration for Briggs’ and the way he navigates this industry - and I love the space he and the team at Bad Apples have created for first nations artists in this country. The music industry is a wild and sometimes overwhelming place, so having people that prioritise community and operate like family back me and believe in me is a real dream. 

"I’m so happy to be working with people who are as excited about me releasing new stuff as I am."

Briggs has shared that he's "proud that Alice Skye has found a home with Bad Apples Music."

"Wergaia woman Alice brings an immense talent, honesty and unique perspective with her that I believe will only take her to further success," he said of the signing. 

"I’ve watched Alice grow as an artist over the last 2 years and it’s been strength to strength. Alice’s songwriting & performance is top tier and it won’t take long before she is recognised as one of our countries best.

"Bad Apples Music strives to create pathways represent our vast communities and talents as best as possible in the most genuine way. Supporting artists outside of the hip hop is a first step for us but it is a considered and informed one."

Skye released her debut album Friends With Feelings in 2018. She's set to perform at Melbourne Museum's Nocturnal series, alongside Briggs, in celebration of NAIDOC Week next month. Head to theGuide for all the info.
