26
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: Les Prince Charles on the cello or something doing.

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 3: Some backup vocals. Russell Crow sent my album to Ed

28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 3: and and yeah I got an email. Woke up to

29
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: an email one morning from it sheer And It took

30
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: me a while to make sure it was like legit

31
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 3: and not one of my friends, but turns out it

32
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: was legit. Yeah, you know, super wild.

33
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 4: Sorry, just to go back to the front of that

34
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 4: story though, your mates with Russell Crow.

35
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's wild. But he came to a few

36
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: shows and he knows that I used to work at

37
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 3: a rugby league club, so obviously, you know, with the

38
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 3: Rabbit O's we had a little bit of common. And

39
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: then he invited me to his farm and I went

40
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 3: there with my partner and we were just kept in contact.

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: Now.

42
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: We played tennis and caught bike ride and you know,

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: hang out amazing, Cray.

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 4: You played tennis with Gladiator. I love that.

45
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 5: All right, Well, let's talk about this song again, Amy,

46
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 5: because we're going to play it. Love songs and for

47
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 5: Us featuring Keith, and this is the other wild part

48
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 5: of the story. So we go from Russell to Ed

49
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 5: to Keith. So did you say to Ed, hey man,

50
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 5: I'm not sure we've got enough firepower on this track.

51
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 5: Do you mind if I call Keith.

52
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: Or like what, Caddy, Let's finish the jig saw before

53
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 2: we play it?

54
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: Okay, it really is horrendous saying all this isn't it.

55
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: Had show?

56
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: You're playing golf tennis Already everyone listening right now has

57
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 3: already like logged off. Anyway, It's okay, we got the

58
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: real We got the real keepers hang it on there,

59
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 3: like ended up singing some bvs on the day when

60
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: we were in the studio, and I almost like wish

61
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: he didn't because it put it in my head how

62
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: amazing it sounded, or harmonies and everything that he did.

63
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 3: So and then obviously he's coming off the back of

64
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: doing his collaborations records, so I know that it's just

65
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 3: like no way in hell his management and label going

66
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: to let him do get another collab. So yeah, I

67
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: was lucky that I got to meet Keith and like

68
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: at the twenty eighteen Houring Awards and we kind of

69
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: stayed in contact as well, so it was just like

70
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: literally meet texting Keith the song saying hey, I wrote

71
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: this with Ed, do you think that you would be

72
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: interested to feature on it? And then you just got

73
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 3: back to me straight away and said, I love it,

74
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: send me the stems and I'll start on it this weekend.

75
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: So it was really easy.

106
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 5: I am putting you on the spot a little bit here,

107
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 5: but can you talk a little bit about as a

108
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 5: woman challenging yourself what that means to you and the

109
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 5: challenges you face, particularly in the industry you're in as well.

110
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 5: I suppose it would be insightful for everyone listening.

111
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it is endless challenges. I guess until

112
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: you've proven yourself. It's like everyone knew every man just

113
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: knew better. And it was just so like, I mean,

114
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: I had the type of personality it's like, yeah, mate,

115
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 3: no worries like don't want to finish your beer. But

116
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: it's a really happy thick skins to get through that.

117
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 3: And also just being in studios being totally pushed at that,

118
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: going okay, cool, yep, what's the song you've got? All right, now,

119
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: I'll build it, go and take take five month and

120
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, it's you know, it's taken a lot

121
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: long time to be to be up there at the

122
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 3: desk and not you know, not feel like I'm in

123
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 3: someone's way or be told to leave because you know

124
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: you've done your little vocals go and you know I'll

125
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 3: take I'll take it from here. So it's it's just

126
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: it's just so many things that guys didn't even think

127
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 3: about that really kind of irritate women. But anyway, but

128
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: it's getting a lot better.

129
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 4: And also it's worth mentioning your partner Shane as well.

130
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 4: I remember when we were hanging out of the areas,

131
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: I think it was twenty eighteen, Yeah, and it was

132
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 4: so great. Chatting to your partner Shane, who I know

133
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 4: is just a huge support of everything that you do.

134
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 4: Was there ever a conversation, I don't know how long

135
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 4: it would have been, but between you two where but

136
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 4: I'm sure Shane's made a lot of sacrifices for his

137
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 4: career for for your career. Is that true?

138
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 3: Yeah? We kind of both were getting our dream jobs

139
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 3: around the same time. He was working in football and

140
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 3: in finance because it's a bit of a nerd that

141
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: Louns thought, so he was doing that and yet and

142
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: she was very very good at it, and then you know,

143
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: everything was happening for me. So it was just yeah.

144
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 5: It's interesting actually just talking about your arias because I

145
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 5: remember distinctly something you said. You had a clean slit

146
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 5: sweep of the awards that year and you won Best

147
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 5: Album as well, and I remember getting out there and saying,

148
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 5: and this is interesting tying into this choose to challenge

149
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 5: theme and femininity and women in the industry.

150
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: I distinctly remember you.

151
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 5: Saying thank you for letting me go and write a record,

152
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 5: like there was like a level of faith and trust

153
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 5: in you, you know, doing actually like you know, yeah,

154
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 5: putting a flag in the ground and going like, no, no,

155
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 5: I can actually do this. I want to do this

156
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 5: by myself. I don't want to just you know, do

157
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 5: the vocals, et cetera. You want to make this whole

158
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 5: thing and be a part of the process and start

159
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 5: to finish. You're you're essentially insinuating that that you think

160
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 5: that would have been different if you were a guy,

161
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 5: or is that different if you are a guy.

162
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: I just I think I was just so grateful that

163
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: I didn't because I've spoken to many other female artists

164
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: and you know, you constantly, I guess without people knowing that,

165
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: they're worried. You know, you're you're especially you're an impediment.

166
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 3: So it's like for me to have been left alone

167
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: so months on end and have to just put all

168
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 3: this trust in me to deliver an album, and it

169
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 3: it makes you want to keep keep, you know, doing better.

170
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: It's just such a big lift. And that's what you know,

171
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: some men need to understand. If you put your faith

172
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: in in a woman, she's like nine times out attention,

173
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: she's going to step up and then she's just going

174
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 3: to build off that. Because when you win, just keep winning,

175
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: and it gives you a sense of ownership and and

176
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 3: belief and confidence and it does so so much for

177
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,479
Speaker 3: your self esteem. It's yeah, it's like it's such as

178
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: it's a great move and I have a very good

179
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: record label, I have a great management team. It's just

180
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: it feels good, awesome.

181
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 4: Actually, will'smum said about fifteen twenty minutes ago, it's not

182
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 4: women that need to get stronger. Women have always been strong.

183
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 4: It's the perception of women's strength that needs to change.

184
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 4: And I think that speaks true to what you said.
