How was the process collaborating with Michael Belsar (Hayden James, Genesis Owusu) on the track?

It’s always so fun. I love creating with Michael because he allows space for your ideas and compliments them in a wonderful way. All the while you’re making bangers you’ll probably be laughing too. ‘Albert St.’ felt easy, we had instrumentalists come in, so we didn’t have to do the leg work. We have written most of my album together, which has been such a great experience!

What inspires you to write music?

There’s not one thing. I think my inspiration comes in cycles, kinda like my hormones. Songwriting for me is like having a working limb, when my brain fails to shut up, I express myself through song. I love turning the imagination into something tangible, that others can experience too. In the case of ‘Albert St.,’ I was inspired by how wonderfully supportive my friends were and how exciting it was to be out of lockdown celebrating.

Tell us about the music video – what inspired it and how was the process creating it?

I had been scrolling Pinterest for weeks figuring out the vibe for the release and kept loving the look of coloured tights. They represent femininity, fun, quirkiness, and youthfulness. I ended up buying food dye, a bunch of tights and dyed them myself the night before. The actual shoot itself was organised chaos, Sam Hingham filmed while my sister Kate and I directed, and it thankfully it fell together.

What can fans expect to see from your live shows?

Terrible dance moves, but great music. I produce a combination of electronic and organic pop, so it’s quite dynamic in terms of having a boog, or just swaying. My voice is soulful and expressive, and my band helps to make everything pop and sparkle better than ever. The MOZË live show is fun and has a great community! I can assure that everyone will have a good time.

What are your plans for the rest of the year?

I am finishing an album and slowly releasing throughout the year which is exciting. I started writing it during lockdown, so I can almost taste the freedom of the finished product. I’ve also been keeping busy with my final year of a master’s degree, studying Cultural Arts Management, and creating a little music festival on my family farm in Wangaratta.
