Perth-based producer RHY and Melbourne songstress Jewel Owusu join creative forces in their upcoming single, “About You,” set to release on September 21st, 2023.
Born from an unexpected Instagram message, this online connection blossomed into a transcendental musical journey, one that commenced with a drumbeat, a bassline, and a guitar groove—stripped down to the simplest elements. Owusu’s poignant verses and soul-stirring chorus effortlessly found their place atop these rhythms, intertwining to weave a tapestry of emotions that resonates with anyone who has felt the bittersweet longing reminiscent of missing a summer during winter.

RHY, whose moniker is derived from the first three letters of his name, Rhyan Lyndon-James, has become a rising star in the Perth music scene. With the debut EP ‘DUMB FUNK,’ released to critical acclaim in July 2022, RHY showcased his distinctive blend of sugary indie pop-rock, awash with vibrant synths, funky guitar riffs, and infectious rhythms. Notably, his talent has garnered recognition from esteemed corners of the industry, including being handpicked by Jungle Giants as a victor of Smirnoff’s Ads for Artists competition, a single release under the prestigious French-Japanese label Kitsuné Musique, and playlist inclusions on Martin Garrix’s ‘Martin Garrix Radio’ and numerous Spotify playlists.
Jewel Owusu, the Melbourne-based Singer-Songwriter, brings her own impressive accolades to the table. From opening for Vera Blue to gracing the stage at the illustrious Pitch Music Festival, and even securing a partnership with Converse All Star, her vibrant and soulful voice has earned her acclaim from notable platforms such as VICE, triple j, Complex, Pilerats, and Cool Accidents.

Reflecting on the creation of the track RHY shares, “The collaboration actually took place entirely online, beginning with an Instagram message one day. After sending through the original drum, bass, and guitar groove, Jewel laid the verse and chorus. The rest of the song came together pretty fast but then lay dormant on my hard drive for almost a year before it finally felt right to release.”
Owusu adds, “The song is about knowing a relationship has come to an end but still picturing the good times that were spent together and knowing that talking about the relationship with other people is going to bring those feelings back.”

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
