Singer-songwriter Matt Graham reminded me what it was like to fall in love. As soon as he opened his mouth I was transported back in time and re-lived each touch, smell and sensation of what it was like to meet my partner for the first time. His voice was melodic and vulnerable as he shared stories of love, hope and heartbreak. As a listener, I was hanging on his every word, waiting to hear what was going to happen next. His set was intimate and he made sure that the audience felt like they were at home, which was such a lovely touch. Personally, I can't wait to download his music on Spotify and see what happens next for this Brisbane based performer.

Singer/songwriter/composer Coby Brown's brand new video “Tokyo” has its exclusive worldwide premiere via Vents Magazine today; check it outhere. Of the path that led to the making of the video, Coby Brown explained, “The director, Rennie Solis, and I had been talking about making a video forever. I'd just finished recording 'Tokyo' and it seemed like an obvious candidate for a video to us both. We kept thinking of versions we could shoot domestically, but to no avail. Rennie suggested we just go shoot something in Tokyo, but between work and kids it seemed like a long shot. But then the Universe stepped in. We went to a work event for my wife where Delta was one of the sponsors. The sponsors all had games and were giving away gifts. We were getting ready to leave when someone said, 'you guys should go play the Delta game, my friend just won a trip to Shanghai.' As soon as I heard that, I bee-lined over there.
