Georgia Fields

Georgia Fields, musician and builder of Mother Lode

In addition to working as a self-managed artist for over a decade and raising two children, in recent times musician & songwriter Georgia Fields has launched a new online community called Mother Lode – a space to support and connect working mums in the Australian music industry, and a way to work collectively to encourage structural changes that will make the industry more accessible for mothers. She is absolutely speaking, and playing, our language!


Georgia’s professional life as an independent musician, songwriter, and arranger based in Melbourne, Australia positions her perfectly to connect communities of like minded and diverse people. In this chat we ask her about her own career, but also her aspirations for improving and expanding the industry. You can find Mother Lode on Instagram @findthemotherlode, and https://www.findthemotherlode.com/read

We’re now spoken to Georgia twice on MMO – both chats are below. In the second chat we were lucky enough to also feature some new music, with Georgia’s permission, pieces from her new songs “How A Girl Becomes A Puddle”, “In My Blood” and “Find Your Way Back”.
