@BraidzMCau So we agree, there’s very little spotlight on our more diverse acts and that’s because the label and radio heads are pushing “safe” bets on Aussie artists
What Azealia Banks said should be taken as a wake up call. We actually do have the talent and acts that are worthy of large platforms but unless you satisfy the “Real” Australian audience either by looking like them or making music they like you ain’t getting the spotlight
@TheTongueIsDead Key word international attention. If the only pathway to success is to be bigger outside of aus then in it that’s not the system working for us it’s artists circumventing it
- not being a large enough base to be seen as a good business investment.
Without watering down our content or doing poppy/trendy bullshit to get attention everyone’s grind gon be slow, painful and in most cases unrewarding.
I love this music scene it literally saved my life but-
if you’re wondering why shes ignoring the thriving POC art circles that we’ve got in this country, it’s because she can’t see them. We’re not visible on an international scale. Which is the exact problem she’s talking about. Hope this helps :)
