Congratulations to MARLOE who will be heading down to Electronic Music Conference (EMC) next week to attend the conference, co-write one-on-one with Akacia and sit down with 120 Publishing to learn about how an emerging artists publishing can be built into an incredibly valuable revenue stream.
MARLOE is a young independent artist who combines splashes of electronica with lush, soaring vocals and beat-driven melodies. Her shimmering indie-pop tracks are the perfect combo of punchy and playful, and take you on an intimate journey of self experience, and ultimate girl-power-moments.
I’m so thankful and excited to be chosen for this opportunity. Super keen to head down to Sydney to learn from and work with so many amazing industry professionals.

At last years QMusic Songwriting Retreat (formerly known as Amplify) Brisbane electronic pop/soul artist Cloe Terare was paired with songwriting mentor and electronic r’n’b artist DVNA to co-write a new song.

James Russel from Heliport Studios added in an extra surprise offering to record and mix the single.
