Melbourne listeners may think of Jacinta Parsons like an awesome extended family member. A stable for ABC radio Melbourne for many years, nationally and internationally she has written books (Unseen and A Question of Age) and worked in television and podcasts.
Jacinta Parsons is not just a prolific voice in the Australian media, but also an important intersectional advocate, MC and speaker. Way back when she started in community radio in Melbourne, and these days she’s teaching at RMIT while still creating, contributing and studying herself.
We are so thrilled to have her with us and to just generally bathe in her awesomeness, welcome to Music Mothers and Others, Jacinta!
Jessica Mauboy – Music Mothers and Others
Our guest today is Jessica Mauboy. An absolute legend of Australian music, Jess is a singer, a writer, a performer – multi ARIA award winner, and recently inducted into the National Indigenous Music Awards Hall of Fame – incredible. She’s been in the spotlight for nearly 20 years, and after a long time at major labels, she has recently taken the next big boss lady move by stepping out as an independent artist on the new label Jamally, with her new single “While I Got Time”. Oh, and somewhere in there she finds time to be an incredible Mum, Sister and Daughter. We are so excited to have you with us on Music Mothers and Others – welcome Jessica (and thanks to Blue Music Services for connecting us). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
