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.

“Same ground. Different sound. You’re listening to Homoground. This is Madeline Finn from Nashville, Tennessee and I identify as queer.
“Since COVID-19, I’ve had to cancel a full European tour, a full living room tour that I had booked for the summer and a couple other really awesome opportunities like opening up for Brent Cobb and Rainbow Girls and some other festivals as well. It’s been weird shifting into an online presence as opposed to a live performance, because I feel personally that the live performance is where I thrive; the live performance is the part I love most about my job other than connecting with people and to not have it in my current reality is tough. Shifting to an online presence has been challenging for me, mostly because I’m not great at technology, but we’re learning! The livestreams have been cool, but it’s been more of an introspective time. You know, when I perform, I feed off the energy of those listening. I feed off the crowd interaction and all that. And with that gone, because when you play, you know, people can comment, but you don’t hear applause. You don’t get to see people reacting or get to share that emotional energy that’s just in the room with them. So it’s been more introspective. I’ve been able to, like, play a song and feel it for myself and kind of go inward. This has been a time of a lot of self-reflection. And as I start to try and bring that out on my social media and on my livestreams and on things like this, it’s brand new for me. But I think it’s taking me to a place of more integrity and more vulnerability. And I’m really excited for how this time is going to shape my live show in the future.”
