‘If you’ve been missing going to live gigs…then we’ve got the next best thing’ Time Out
Kicking off Episode Four is three-time ARIA Award winner Matt Corby who will introduce soul-inspired singer-songwriter Ed Moon. Hailing from Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, the captivating performer took to channelling his creative energy during lockdown, writing and recording his newest single ‘Moon’. Released just yesterday, the single offers buttery and soulful vocals with a touch of nostalgia.
Next up, global chart-topping sensation Tones And I will introduce neo-soul star Akosia, a Melbourne based singer-songwriter whose music takes listeners on a poignant journey through melodic harmonies and meaningful storytelling. Akosia’s debut single ‘Don’t Say’ explores the reality of life and love, sharing her most intimate experiences through soulful vocals.
ARIA’s 2018 Breakthrough Artist Ruel will introduce viewers to R&B soul-singer JAYDEAN. The last year proved to be huge for the soul singer, with his debut single ‘Touch’ nominated for APRA Song of the Year, as well as the release of single ‘Forget’. Between releases, JAYDEAN toured alongside Aussie superstars Ruel and Kaiit.

AMNPLIFY – DB
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.
