Description
Four extraordinary Australian musicians are redefining music on their own terms. From crafting functional instruments out of fresh carrots to turning sudden vision loss into cross-cultural fusion, meet the inspiring artists mastering melodies in their own way.
On this episode of My Way:
🥕 Linsey Pollak – A global musical innovator who breathes soul into ordinary objects, transforming garden hoses, watering cans, and carrots into breath-taking wind instruments fused with Balkan folk traditions.
🎶 Menaka Thomas – A songwriter and mentor who blended traditional Carnatic training with modern song writing after sudden legal blindness, creating an empowering, genre-defying sound.
🎷 Meredith Brothers – Proof that it’s never too late for a second act. After decades as a veterinarian, she sold her practice to pursue jazz and founded Brisbane’s intimate Ruby Jazz Club.
🪗 David De Santi – A cornerstone of the Australian folk community who gathers musicians worldwide through high-energy "Good Tunes" sessions, keeping ancient global melodies vibrant and alive.
