I love a good mixtape.

I’m obsessed with all genres of music.

I’m that friend who spends hours curating perfect playlists.

I’m also that friend whose music interests are best described as “I love a bit of everything.” Truly. Everything.

Welcome to Mixtape, your Australian friend in music. A newsletter to read, explore and hear. I share songs I discover and rediscover, artists I pull over in my car and turn up the volume for and live acts whose overpriced, irregular sized merchandise I am definitely buying. Sprinkled with a little musical theatre *jazz hands*.

I figure, there’s a reason I’ve been referred to as the Playlist Queen more times than I can count. For as long as I can remember (which is a good 30 odd years), this is my jam.

Here are some solid reasons you should get in The Mixer…

You can expect recommendations of all kinds. There are no boundaries. I show a lot of love for Australian music. Home is where the heart is.

I love discovering new artists and I can’t wait to share those. Let’s not forget the golden oldies. I am hopelessly nostalgic, anything that prompts memories or reminds me of someone always gets a mention.

Music that deserves to be a Tik Tok sensation. Tunes that I predict will be chart toppers (I do love a good prediction!) I unpack the music content hitting our feeds.

Music that deserves to be appreciated as an art form, a production, a meaningful story.

Music that is worth putting on repeat and getting stuck in your head.

It’s fair to say, I’ve got the music in me. This a space where we can share, reminisce and talk about it all day long.

So, shall we dance?
