#20 Get to know Ayla, a unique local voice

Elkkle is Callum Baker, a 22 year old producer and songwriter based in Melbourne. It was in 2015 that he first made waves, collaborating with fellow producer and songwriter Woodes. It was in late 2016 however, that he emerged as a solo artist.

From an early age Callum was interested in music, but in school and later university he started to develop a keen interest in technology. It eventually all came together, and he evolved as an electronic musician.

#19 Inspiration all around: Say hello to Byron Bay's Tora

Australia has a wealth of incredibly talented young artists rising through the ranks, and Brissy-based wunderkind Golden Vessel is right at the front of the pack. The project of 20-year-old Max Byrne has been making music since childhood, honing his skills and finally taking the leap into his solo project.

Collaboration is key for Golden Vessel, and already in his teenage years he has worked with the likes of Mallrat, Woodes, Caleb Hodges, Elkkle — the list goes on and on. Ro chatted with Max the day before he turned 20 to chat everything Golden Vessel — from the beginning of the project, to the importance of teamwork and what the GV endgame looks like.
