BIGSOUND 2019 Artist Focus: 3K

Answered by: Richard Truong

Give us a short description of your music: Our music is meant to make you move, dance and get wild!

Which acts are on your must-see list at BIGSOUND? Savage The Girl, Hooligan Hefs, Milan Ring.

Why should people come and see you among the many amazing bands at BIGSOUND? People should come to see 3K perform because you are guaranteed to be entertained, we're all pretty different people on stage. We love incorporating a bit of humour into our set, and you'll definitely be in for a wild ride!

What music trends do you think are dominating right now, and do you have any predictions for the coming year? Hip hop has already become the biggest genre and will probably continue to be on top for years to come. Keen to see Australian artists get a real authority in the international landscape. Hopefully, we see an album from Akon next year too.

In your career to date, what have been the key watershed moments? Our first EP launch at the Saint Side city store was one of our greatest and beautiful accomplishments. Seeing the love Melbourne put out for us was so surreal, and was a dope way to release our first project.

What industry lessons would you like to take away from the BIGSOUND conference? Super keen on learning how to turn our project into something more sustainable that we can all live on!

What do you identify as the most pressing issue impacting the Australian music industry at present? Too much focus on music that panders rather than on music that has heart and soul in it.

What is the best bit of advice you've been given to prepare for your time at BIGSOUND? Party after the set.

When and where is your BIGSOUND showcase? 3 Sep, The Valley Drive In, 9.10pm; 5 Sep, Famous Nightclub, 10.40pm.
