Yeah, I went to medical school. I'm still working as a doctor in Australia. And something just drove me to pursue something outside of medicine. And that became music. But lately, releasing Calm Again has just been inspired by what's been going on in the world.

Oh, yeah. I think a lot of my friends thought I was crazy for the first while. I mean, I am a bit crazy to an extent. And then a lot of my colleagues realized that it's not a phase and I started putting out more music. And I think a lot of people are just super happy for me and supportive, which is nice.

So at the moment, I'm doing more holistic stuff. So a lot of mental health and a lot of nutrition and wellness, which is what I like. But the more that music's going on, the more it's kind of taking over and I'm stepping into that.

Yeah, so the Carmageddon music video, I made it with Bradley Murnane in Newcastle. He's a legend. And we kind of just played around. We didn't have a solid plan for the video. We just went with the flow and it just came out organically. You can read the lyrics. I mean, I'm sure you have. It's pretty. I mean, it's just a sign of the times, right?

No, yeah, that's part of the story. When I moved to New York, so I went to New York to do research for a year as a student and I was totally broke. Like I took out student loans. I worked in a bar, you know, music became something that I thought I was just going to dabble in, but then I kind of fell into it and I was doing it every single day as well as research. you know, on the side.

So I'd, you know, I'd go to the, I'd go to the clinic in the lab in the daytime. And then in the nighttime, I'd go out with my friends and do gigs.

Honestly, my head was definitely more in the artsy world. And I met my coach and I met some friends and I just kind of jumped into that world. And the shaggy part, I actually spoke to him yesterday about this. I ended up at his house in Long Island after I got a ride with an NYPD car, as you do. And... to his house, by the way. And he referred me to a coach, Craig Derry.

And he's like, you really got to see this guy. He's amazing. And so I did. And Craig changed my life and just like instilled this conviction within my heart that I could pursue music as a, as a career. And I think that gave me a lot of strength to break away a little bit from medicine.

Cause you know, sometimes it feels like a bit of a cult stepping away from medicine because you're expected to go down this path.

I, you know what, it just came up organically and randomly. And I just wanted to write a song about what was going on with my producer, Danny. And we just sat there asking ourselves, like, what's just like so heavy on our hearts and going on in the world? And And now this song has kind of become an anthem for people because it's kind of singing what we're all thinking and have been thinking.

And I think that's why, to my surprise, it's resonating with so many people around the world is because it's speaking for people who don't have a voice and who felt unseen. And I just want to make sure all my music comes from a place that's real and true to myself.

And it doesn't matter if it's political or not, or if it's about, you know, losing a best friend or, or grief or love or whatever, as long as it's, you know, true to myself. So.
