🎙️ Interview Review | Voices@Alive – Sarah Bedak

Sarah Bedak joined Voices@Alive for a thoughtful and deeply engaging conversation about music, identity, and cultural belonging.

An Australian-born Roma (Gypsy) woman and the creative force behind Lolo Lovina, Sarah spoke openly about the importance of embracing her heritage and using music as a way to preserve, celebrate, and share Roma culture with wider audiences. Throughout the interview, she reflected on the responsibility artists carry when representing communities that are often misunderstood, and on the power of music as a bridge between cultures.

Sarah also shared insights into her artistic partnership with her husband and bandmate Nenad Radic, highlighting how their shared passion for Roma traditions, combined with European influences, has shaped the distinctive sound of Lolo Lovina. Their collaboration is built on mutual respect, discipline, and a deep love for musical storytelling.

During the conversation, Sarah invited listeners to experience this energy live at “Balkan & Brazilian on the Beaches” next Saturday, 31 January, where **Lolo Lovina will join forces with Brazilian band Beliza for a vibrant cross-cultural celebration of Balkan Romani rhythms and Brazilian grooves—an event that promises joy, movement, and community connection.

The interview was a powerful reminder of why Voices@Alive exists: to amplify meaningful voices, celebrate cultural diversity, and share music that carries history, identity, and heart.

Voices@Alive | Interview with Lucy Gallant

In this episode of Voices@Alive, I had the privilege of speaking with Lucy Gallant — an extraordinary independent artist whose journey is as powerful as her music.

Known for creating her own genre, bohemian folk-pop, Lucy blends folk, soul, and reggae into a unique and vibrant sound. As a multi-instrumentalist and one-woman performer, she has captivated audiences around the world, performing at major festivals including Glastonbury, Bluesfest, and Splendour in the Grass.

In 2025, Lucy achieved the remarkable milestone of producing sold-out tours across Australia, New Zealand, and Europe — entirely on her own. Her dedication, resilience, and fearless independence truly set her apart.

But beyond her success, this conversation reveals the depth of her story.

Lucy shared her early life of freedom and exploration, travelling to over 50 countries, and how these experiences shaped her identity and music. She also opened her heart about one of the most difficult chapters of her life — losing both of her parents during COVID, just six months apart — and how she transformed that pain into creativity and healing through her music.

Music is not just her passion — it is her path.

During our conversation, I shared with Lucy how powerful it would be for her to write her story, as it has the potential to inspire younger generations navigating challenging times.

This is a conversation about courage, loss, resilience, and the power of staying true to who you are.

🎧 Listen now and be inspired.
