we have played at over 30 venues and 10 festivals across the country, including ones like Woodford, Bundanoon, Cygnet and St Albans. At our shows, we have fundraised for organisations like Green Music Australia, the Australian Youth Climate Coalition, Seed Mob and School Strike 4 Climate. I created a tour called the Public Transport Tour, where we travelled only via public transport from NSW - VIC for our shows. I made a documentary about it.
I am an ambassador for Green Music Australia and was a recipient of their Sound Country Artist Leadership Retreat in 2024. In 2025, my song 'Running On Our Own' was a finalist in the Environmental Music Prize.
my debut EP, 'Over The Earth, Under' came out in 2024. You can listen to it here and watch music videos for some of the songs here.
Other things I do
Deep Ecology
I co-facilitated a number of Deep Ecology workshops with a friend in 2023, and facilitated a songwriting practice that you can watch/listen to here.
People's Music Collective
in 2026, a group of friends and I started the People's Music Collective (that's our IG). We are here to bring music into activism, and vice versa, wherever and however we can. Right now this looks like leading songs at rallies, workshopping writing new songs, and archiving the old songs.
Ecology music
since 2022, I have been part of Amelie Ecology, playing as Gabi Stingless Bee. Amelie & I write and perform together around the country educating the young and the young at heart about urban ecology, insect pollinators and how to care for our planet through collaboration and song.
Community music
I am very passionate about community music. From 2021-22, I worked at The Rhythm Village as a musician, then from 2022-26 at A Sound Life as the Music Program Manager, and since then at Pleb City as the Studio Manager.
