Today sees Australian Idol winner Royston Noell release his ‘Sunrise’ EP along with the body of work’s focus track ‘Live Everyday’, and we were lucky enough to catch up with the proud Thanakwith artist to talk about the new body of work and how he plans to celebrate the releases.

2022 is the year of Genes

Having written songs for Will Sparks, Young Franco and Nicky Romero, Genes has over 50 million global songwriting streams as well as 180k+ streams on her last single ‘Kind of Bi’ and 5.5k Tik Tok followers it’s not unreasonable to say Genes is the next wave of Aussie Pop. Her new song 'Crumble' is effervescent, fun and vibrant which Genes has been known to bring to each of her releases so far. MFA got the chance to chat to Genes, so we asked her about the new song, the difference in writing songs for herself instead of other people and the moment she “fangirled” over Guy Sebastian sharing one of her videos.
