Homophonix Artist Interviews with Rainbow Riots, Mandy Rich, Kristian Kaspersen, Jessie Lloyd and Zan. [Episode #260]
This episode features snippets from interviews with musicians from the HOMOPHONIX podcast.
The aim of the HOMOPHONIX podcast is to introduce songwriters and the stories behind some of their songs. These brave independent music makers identify as part of the LGBTIQ+ community. The interviews centre around their music, not their gender or sexuality. There are some amazing stories to be told, from some incredible talent, through some beautiful tracks. Each artist’s episode contains 3 tracks and some chat in under 30 minutes.
The choice to do this podcast is not to further segregate the queer from the straight community, but rather to help normalise the human experience that is reflected in song. To share our thoughts as creative LGBTIQ people to each other, and others. Music has the power to heal, to inspire, to bring people together. There are still places in the world where being of a different sexuality is not accepted, is feared, is frowned upon, or is illegal. LGBTIQ youth face a much greater risk of depression, substance use, and suicide, due to the bullying and isolation they experience from their peers, their families, or society at large. Things are changing, and for the better – if any of these artists and their music can help make someone’s life more hopeful and positive, then that makes creating this network and podcast worth it.
Most of the people you will hear, you may not have heard, or even heard of. People who are not ‘household’ names, who are not backed by large labels with huge promotional powers. In fact, it’s their independence that makes them powerful. These writers are diligently producing their own music stemming from a deep desire and instinct to share their experiences and thoughts.
