"I didn't want to stop watching his set!"

Check out the Sydney artist's highlights below.


michael blume

Michael Blume was performing when I arrived to my set on Friday night at the Soundexchange sessions presented by Paradigm. He was amazing. His voice is insane and he had these incredible background singers. I didn't want to stop watching his set!

lil yachty

I performed with Lil Yachty during the MTV Woodies. He was incredibly sweet. He came up to me to say hi and chat for a bit. He's on the new Katy Perry record and obviously doing big things!

betty who

I met Betty at a photoshoot recently and we definitely hit it off. She's got a fun, extroverted personality! I know she just released a new song and was back at SXSW making her rounds! 

the chainsmokers

Are you kidding? All I have to say is that Closer was my favorite song of 2016!
