True story…I have a bogus doppelgänger on Insta. Lars 2 (let’s call him) has put considerable work in, but lets himself (me) down with the cheeseball line “Own your own greatness.” Disappointing!! I’ve now had a fake me on Twitter and Insta. Waiting for the LinkedIn hattrick.
As the @rockhall belatedly nominates @INXS, I had the good fortune to join Bee France for her excellent new podcast, "Listen Like Fans," as guest and first co-host. INXS fans, cast your votes with the #RockHall! open.spotify.com/episode/28X…

@fazerdaze became a breakout global success in 2017. Then she disappeared from the spotlight. Now, she’s finally ready to tell the world where she’s been.
To celebrate her stunning comeback album, ‘Soft Power’, New Zealand’s indie-pop star sat down with Rolling Stone AU/NZ for a heartfelt conversation about what’s happened to her in the past seven years, her transformative new music, and what the future holds.
Fazerdaze’s interview features in our special Musicians on Musicians issue, which is available on newsstands across Australia and New Zealand now.
You’ll also be able to read Fazerdaze’s interview on the Rolling Stone AU/NZ website this Thursday, December 19th!

And we’re off! All That Matters 2024 is underway at Hilton Singapore Orchard. I’ve got the honours of interviewing Empire boss Ghazi Shami on stage Tuesday, and facilitating the Wednesday panel discussion "David and Goliath: The Micro vs. Mega Influencer Approach". Get in!
BIGSOUND 2024 is all systems go. It’s one of the best times of any year, stacked with music, beer and old friends. I’m on stage Wednesday afternoon for an interview with the mighty Korda Marshall. Get in! #Bigsound
“Head South” is a blast from the past, and even better on the second viewing. I had the great fortune of presenting the movie last night at #MIFF, and spent time on stage with director Jonathan Ogilvie and the cast, all lovely. Go see when it’s in cinemas this October.
For something completely different, I’ll be playing with team @ARIA_Official in the Ricochet Ball netball tournament this Friday in Sydney. We're raising money for Teach Us, a youth-led charity on a mission to eradicate normalised sexual violence. Get in! mycause.com.au/p/345678/aria…

I’m incredibly excited to announce the new leadership structure for The Brag Media, which sees the formidable Jessica Hunter become Head of The Brag Media.
Following @VNLASX’s acquisition of The Brag Media, we undertook a comprehensive review of the business and its operations in order to unlock Brag’s full potential and best position it for growth and continued commercial success.
Jess’ promotion is a direct result of this review, and she will now lead the business towards our shared goals. Her innovative approach, leadership experience and exemplary leadership over the past couple of months make Jess the right person to lead this business through the next stage of growth and beyond.
In addition, @larsbrandle has been promoted to Head of Content. Held in high regard within the industry and globally, Lars’ extensive experience in publishing will be an invaluable asset to The Brag Media’s content strategy in this newly created role.
These changes to The Brag Media’s leadership and structure, combined with new investment into parts of the business that were under-resourced, continue the incredible momentum built over recent weeks.
