Where does your desire to express yourself through art come from?

Our desire to express ourselves through our art has always been there for us. Christine and I have been playing music together for most of our lives. For me it began in high school and for Chris it began a little later, once we got together. We were playing in cover bands up until about 2015 when we started to write songs and began our career as independent artists in our band, Studeo. Over the past 10 years or so, we have been focussing not just writing and recording, but have made many music videos which we have entered in Film Festivals around the world.  To this end we have developed a great team  who all contribute to our music and successes. We have been very fortunate as we have had a great deal of success in these festivals winning many awards.

What are your goals as an artist?

Broadly our goals centre around our music, recording our albums and music videos and have them played around the world. Of course our aim is to build on our fanbase and continue our success is the various awards . Both of us have become members of the Recording Academy (Grammy®  members)

What is your opinion on the cultural industry?

We live in very unusual times as there are so many opportunities to develop our craft utilising the ever broadening range of technology. Musicians are now able to deliver quality outputs from home using affordable and available tools. We can write , record, distribute our music as well as produce graphics and other support materials from home. The downside of a more productive environment is that it is much more competitive especially with the issue of the technology itself becoming a threat via AI. Nevertheless  Studeo is able to produce our music and be very efficient with the tools and team we have in place.

Do you think independent artists today have enough opportunities to share their creativity?

Yes, there are many opportunities to share our creativity with the world. The key is to understand how to access these opportunities such as Spotify playlists, film festivals, radio playlists etc……
The live music industry has changed a lot over time requiring those who are pursuing gigs to seek out opportunities to play live where as in the past agents domineered the live music scene, especially here in Australia.
