This week the Soul Food team is very excited to announce our next feature artist, the incredible songwriter and musician Melia Lisa! @melia.lisa_

Naarm/Melbourne based artist Melia Lisa blends neo-soul, contemporary R&B and jazz influences to craft lush soundscapes made for late-night reflections and quiet moments, inviting listeners to explore vulnerability, introspection and healing.

For fans of Sade, Cleo Sol and Joy Crookes, this music is for you. Melia's songwriting explores themes of self-compassion, inner trust and emotional growth through a warm and deeply personal lens.

Having released two new singles this year, 'Patient of Love' and 'Making It Up', we can't wait to speak with Melia to hear all about her journey thus far and what is to come as the momentum builds toward her
forthcoming debut EP, 'Be Where You Are' - a body of work dedicated to slowing down, reflection and reconnecting with oneself.

Miles Nautu Interview!

Tonight we welcome none other than Aboriginal and Fijian Naarm-based producer and rapper ...Miles Nautu!! @milesnautu

Having just stepped off the stage at 3RRR, and only a week away from his performance at Move My Way Festival @move.my.way.festivalthis Sunday 4 October, we are so excited to sit down with Miles in the studio and hear all about the journey so far.

Miles’ work is a melding of jazz, hip hop and neo-soul, combining to form his distinctive sound. These tracks boast groove driven and dynamic instrumentals which accentuate Miles’ laid back and incisive storytelling across his work. Releasing his latest EP ‘the front’ earlier this year in July, this project explores central themes of insecurity, jealousy and grief, alongside the many facades we present to the world. 

With a genre-blending sound akin to the likes of Loyle Carner and Mac Miller among others, Miles creates his own musical world and commanding presence, emphasised in his live performances across the country including the Sydney Opera House and Vivid ✨ Tune in this Tuesday night 8-10PM to catch our conversation with Miles Nautu, hear all about ‘the front’ EP and latest single ‘coals’, upcoming live performance at PICA and Meredith, and more!
