Mezz Coleman is Melbourne-based vocal coach, a singer-songwriter, and a musician. In short, she’s in the middle of a long and varied career! So far highlights include a support spot for NZ’s Kimbra, backing vocalist and sessional singing work for Marcia Hines, Delta Goodrem, and Anthony Callea; and performing at the 2021 Vision Australia ‘Carols by Candlelight concert’ – who hasn’t dreamed of being part of that special annual event?

Mezz has often talked about forging a career in music while also being a mum (to two kids), and you may have heard her speak on “the Art of Being a Mum” podcast. Her new album is “I Never Said a Word” – and we’re here to hear all of yours, Mezz! Welcome to Music Mothers and Others – and thanks for letting us feature some of you gorgeous music, tracks ““Much More Than This”, “Chasing Light” and “Magic Moment”.

Deborah Conway – Music Mothers and Others

Deborah Conway is Australian musical royalty – actually musical royalty generally. Talking to us on the back of her book, Book of Life (Allen and Unwin) it's an incredible story of music, motherhood, childhood, partnerhood and all the things in between. In this episode Deborah talks about her life with Willy Zygier and their now grown up girls, also wonderful creative people. Read the book, see and hear them play around the country, and generally bask in her fantastic output, leadership and creative drive. We are so honoured to have her with us generally, and in this little series in particular. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
