Labels. Artists generally utilise labels (e.g., freelance musician and educator) as a one-sentence elevator pitch of what they do in the industry. It's commonly seen at the start of biographies, advertisements and social media. Nowadays, labels can be extended to express the details of one's gender, nationality, sexuality and much more. It is no longer just a one-sentence elevator pitch, but rather a way of positioning ourselves in the world by choosing to be identified by these 'labels'. It may just be a few extra words to say or write, but it can create a big impact to the world. What are your thoughts about labels? Leave a comment or e-mail us at [email protected].

It's a new year - 2023! We're taking a new approach to our podcast at Musicians Unmuted and we are going solo. Each episode will dive deep into a topic about the world of the Brisbane music scene and beyond, and it will be short and sweet. Its purpose is to open a conversation of things we may not often talk about in the music scene, and creating space for discussion and reflection with yourself or with others. We hope you enjoy it!
