1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: We finish in musical conversation and it's a pleasure to

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: welcome to the show today a singer songwriter named Kelsey

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Maggott who has been writing songs since she was in

4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: primary school, long before she ever thought about sharing her

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: work with an audience. But over time, what started as

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: a private space for personal expression has grown into one

7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: she is ready to share with the rest of the world.

8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: And so as we speak, Kelsey has a debut single art,

9
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: which we're going to play for you in just a moment. First,

10
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: then let's say a quick hello, Kelsey, Welcome to Cape Talk.

11
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: It's great to chat to you today.

12
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: Hi've purpose so great to chat to you too.

13
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: Thanks. Who first encouraged you to write music or was

14
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: it something you kind of stumbled into all on your own?

15
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: Definitely something I've stumbled into, you know, on my own.

16
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: I love writing, I love poetry, and music for me

17
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: is like it's just so personal.

18
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: Okay, So that has been very much a sort of

19
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: a creative outlet for personal expression. What has it been

20
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: like for you making the transition for doing that for

21
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: yourself as an outlet for what you were feeling to

22
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: standing up on a stage and I gathered that the

23
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: stages have included up the Creek, which is a very

24
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: large audience indeed in front of you, to putting yourself

25
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: out there and sharing what was such a personal, vulnerable

26
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: space with a crowd. Has it been something you found

27
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: easy to do or has it been quite a challenge.

28
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: It's been very challenging, I must say. You know, it's

29
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: completely out of my comfort zone and with that comes,

30
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of nerves. There's also a lot

31
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: of excitement because it really does feel like a dream

32
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: come true. I just didn't think I would ever be

33
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: brave enough for curatives enough to step into that space.

34
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: But it's definitely been a challenge, but I'm slowly getting

35
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 2: there with each performance and just seeing other artists, you know,

36
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: embrace and sharing their art it's so inspiring and I've

37
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: loved being able to step into that.

38
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: That's fantastic and wonderful to hear you talk about other

39
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: artists being supportive and helpful. Kelsey, that's great to hear.

40
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: Now we're going to play out the show with your

41
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: debut single, Firefly. It's one thing to stand and perform

42
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: live in front of a crowd, but at the same time,

43
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: it's another kind of vulnerability to go here, world, here's

44
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: my song, and please listen to it. Because anybody who

45
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: works in the public spotlight in any way knows that

46
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: what comes back at you might well be yes, we

47
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: love it, well done, please make more. But there will

48
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: also be people telling you how much they hate you

49
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: and they think you suck. It just goes with the territory. Unfortunately.

50
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: What's it been like for you, I mean, it's very

51
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: early days.

52
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: So far, the supports has been really amazing. I didn't

53
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: have many expectations, but just hearing even my colleagues, people

54
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: I knew from high school messaging me and telling me

55
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: that they're listening to the song and that they love

56
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: the song, it's just been so amazing.

57
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: The song is called Firefly. Before we played for our audience,

58
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: won't you tell us a little bit more about what inspired?

59
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: What inspired Firefly was just you know, time of deep

60
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: grief that I went through and it really just woke

61
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: to where I was kind of sitting in the darkness

62
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: of the grief and finding the light again and reclaiming joy.

63
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: That's a beautiful message, and Kelsey one a lot of

64
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: people need to hear right now. So I'm looking forward

65
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: to sharing the song with them. If they like what
