BIGSOUND 2017 Artist Focus: Joyride

Hometown: Sydney

Give us a short description your music: More fun and self-aware than was ever intended. Straddling R&B and electronic music without ever fully committing to either, thank god.

What is the best thing musically that's happened to you so far? Definitely the internet. If anyone who does this interview doesn't say the internet, they're either lying or they didn't respect the question enough. There I said it.

What industry lessons would you like to take away from the BIGSOUND conference? I wanna learn how to convincingly tell someone they played a great set when I didn't actually see them. Real industry shit.

Why should people come and see you among the many cool bands at BIGSOUND? I installed CO2 cannons in my fucking nipples for the sake of my art. I'm not necessarily gonna use 'em at BIGSOUND, but who knows what I'll do if the mood is right.

What acts are on your must see list at BIGSOUND? Haiku Hands, Manu Crook$, Stella Donnelly. But also everyone. What a privilege it is to be able to see the cream all in one place at one time.

What do you reckon your percentage mix of business vs partying will be at BIGSOUND? My business is partying. What a tone-deaf and disrespectful question.

When and where is your BIGSOUND showcase? 5 Sep, Woolly Mammoth; 6 Sep, Ric's Bar. Probs some djing too. The world is a stage guys. xo
