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”.

Ben Lee and Georgia Maq – Music Mothers and Others

Our guests today are Ben Lee and Georgia Maq, who are about to embark on their “Two Most Annoying People You Love Tour” around Australia. If you know Georgia from Camp Cope but don't know Ben then do a deep dive – and vice versa if you're a Ben fan but are new to Georgia's solo stuff in particular. Annoying fans from the nineties, naughties and today with their stubbornly brilliant lyrics and melt the hardest of hearts harmonies, coming together means joining different generations and approaches to bloody good Aussie music. We’re thrilled to have them here, telling us about what they do and how the industry could do it better. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
