“Every tiny fire can be fanned into a blaze of reckoning.” – Jaguar Jonze

‘Little Fires’ sees Jaguar Jonze tied in Shibari, an ancient form of artistic Japanese rope art crafted by prolific Brisbane-based Shibari artist Nawa Musubi. The video explores the ability to be delicate and vulnerable yet strong at the same time. Jaguar Jonze shares, “I am constantly defining what vulnerability means to me. Growing up, vulnerability was seen as a weakness, but now to me, I see vulnerability as strength. And I’m seeing this reflect in my lyrics and songwriting. ‘Little Fires’ is a moment for me to share a vulnerable side of me that I haven’t before.”

“‘Little Fires’ is a reminder about where we’ve come from, what we are fighting for, and what we can achieve when we work together. And, it’s a reminder that we are not alone. I wanted my Eurovision song to be for those moments where it was hard to stay strong, for those times I felt overwhelmed by what I had taken on.”

“..nothing short of a manifold visionary” (Flaunt), Brisbane-based singer, producer, songwriter, and multimedia artist Jaguar Jonze will be returning to the Eurovision – Australia Decides stage in 2022 after her stunning performance at last year’s competition (despite dislocating her shoulder live on stage). ‘Little Fires’ follows on from her “powerful” (Rolling Stone) single ‘CUT’, which highlighted a new light, hilarious and slightly maniac side to Jaguar Jonze, receiving praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, MTV, NME, and BBC Radio 1 Future Artists with Jack Saunders. In June Jaguar Jonze is also set to join The Wombats on their 2022 Australia tour.

The last 18 months Jaguar Jonze has become a public vessel for change and accountability in Australia’s #MeToo movement. In honour of her advocacy to raise awareness on discrimination and abuse within the music industry, and pushing practitioners to operate in a safe and respectful environment, Jaguar Jonze has been awarded the triple j Done Good Award, AIR Outstanding Achievement Award, and named one of the 21 Most Inspiring Women of 2021 by Vogue Australia. Jaguar Jonze continues her advocacy work including in the group that commissioned the Music Industry Review of sexual harm, sexual harassment and systemic discrimination in the contemporary Australian music industry and recommendations for reform. As best described in her own words, “the heat that is picking up and fanning those tiny fires into a blaze of reckoning” (Billboard).
