WAMFest Focus: Mei Swan Lim

Answered by: Mei Swan Lim - Producer, composer, performer

Give us a short description your music: My latest release is devotional by nature, collaging field recordings from across the bio-diverse region of Perth. 

What is the best thing that's happened to you/your band so far? That my music has been appreciated! Also expanding to band format, and now the a cappella group.

Has the party side of the music industry been all you were hoping for so far in your career? The best parties have always been outside of the 'industry'.

What industry lessons would you like to take away from WAMFest? That support from your friends and community are the real reason your music makes it anywhere.

What acts are you looking forward to checking out at WAMFest? Soukouss Internationale. I have so much admiration for Joelle Barbe's drumming and as an all-'round person! The whole band is solid!

Why should people come and see you from amongst the many cool bands at WAMFest? Come see some vulnerability. No rock-man swagger. Just sarong swagger. Come close your eyes with me.

When and where is your WAMFest gig? 4 Nov, The Bird.
