What you need to know about your BIGSOUND artists.
Answered by: Lane Muir
Give us a short description of your music: Imagine if Kanye West and Kevin Parker had a baby but the baby was adopted by John Mayer and Dave Chappelle.
Which acts are on your must-see list at BIGSOUND? Adrian Eagle and Hannah Blackburn.
Why should people come and see you among the many amazing bands at BIGSOUND? My set is very intimate. There's storytelling, jokes and a bunch of unreleased music.
What music trends do you think are dominating right now, and do you have any predictions for the coming year? Country music is sliding back into pop. I think Paramore/Fall Out Boy/Panic At The Disco-type pop-punk bands are going to make a big comeback in the next 12 months.
In your career to date, what have been the key watershed moments? Playing Ultra Music Festival in South Korea. Working with Andrew Dawson in LA. Working with Baker Boy.

What industry lessons would you like to take away from the BIGSOUND conference? I would love to meet new people.
What do you identify as the most pressing issue impacting the Australian music industry at present? Australian hip hop is seen as generally pretty cringe on an international scale. However, Sampa The Great and Kaiit are really moving us forward and I hope to be next to help showcase the amazing talent we have here.
