How would you describe the sound of your debut EP to new listeners?
I know that it’s pop and that it’s soul. But there are bits of inspiration from all over my life. I am going to go with a dark pop sound for the new listeners.
Did you ever think you would have come this far so early on in your music career?
I always had hope that I would be doing exactly what I am doing. From the day I uploaded my first song on triple j Unearthed, I hoped. It all started from there and things started happening in real life rather than in my head. Suddenly I believed in what I was doing and I worked up enough courage to email my song Every Lie to all the presenters at triple j myself – and they didn’t even think I was crazy. Since then, I have not stopped singing.
What can the audience expect from your performance at the Independent Music Awards?
I am performing one song on the night and I want it to be very real but dramatic at the same time somehow.
How does it feel to have the opportunity to perform in front of so many talented independent, Australian artists?
It feels a little intimidating but feels good, I am always excited to sing for people. I am looking forward to meeting other independent artists who are just like me.
What do you think the highlight will be of the AIR Awards 2014?
I think singing at the awards will be the highlight for me; the singing is always my favourite part of any event.
MEG MAC is nominated for AIR Breakthrough Independent Artist Of The Year, and is also performing on the night. The AIR Awards take place Wednesday October 8 at the North Melbourne Meat Market.
