This week Billy jumped on the phone to Claudia Sangiorgi Dalimore and Michelle Grace Hunder,  two lifelong friends have have created an amazing documentary called Her Sound Her Story to celebrate women in the Australian Music Industry. Billy asked many questions about the challenges that face particualry women creating music and art in Ausralian culture and why this is? Why do we use gender as they way to describe and artist and more.

The powerful documentary is an intimate conversation recounting the personal experiences, histories and significant social impacts of women in the Australian music industry

Featuring more than 45 artists spanning six decades, including Tina Arena, Julia Stone, Sampa the Great, Mojo Juju, Her Sound, Her Story’s unique narrative brims with strength, beauty and triumph: a moving and uplifting dialogue that extends beyond the music industry to ask, “Where do we want women's voices to sit in the world today?” 

Created by  Claudia Sangiorgi Dalimore and Michelle Grace Hunder, the pair uncovered very late into their inquisition their film was not the first instance of women in Australian music being put front and centre on screen after being introduced to Lindy Morrison’s (Zero, The Go-Betweens, Cleopatra Wong, The Sandy Shores and Alex the Astronaut), documentary  ‘Australian Women in Rock and Pop Music’.

Viewed in hindsight, the uncanny paralleled conversation between this film and Her Sound Her Story shows many reoccurring themes and issues faced by women in music all of which have remained unresolved across the past three decades.
