If I was to describe Peter Rabbit Music, I’d say that the tones of Peter Hume’s voice and the mix of the synth and acoustic guitar are reminiscent of a warm hug from a long lost friend. The Melbourne local (by way of New Zealand and Sydney) is quick to agree.
“About five or six years ago, I went through a reconnect with childhood phase where I really got into just looking at things fresh was the idea, and being excited about things because I'd been down a lot and been through a lot. It's very easy to get blasé about it.”
As a member of Evermore, the 29 year old is all too familiar with the ins and outs of the music industry. “I used to just love going to see small bands, playing in clubs, and see them excited to be on stage and just like,

Seeing him perform myself as he cohesively engages with the audience at any given moment, I was able to observe his devotion to his craft. “I like the intimacy of it and the immediacy. I'm a fast moving sort of guy. Even in the studio, I like to have everything with me. I want to do everything really fast….At every moment, every time I play the songs, they're different. It's really nice to be able to present that to people.”
At this stage of Peter Rabbit, he is focusing on the live performance aspect of his career. “At the moment, the song's are the most important thing. I find that with a recording people often listen to the recording. Whereas, with a performance, you listen to the song.”
The future really is full of possibilities for Peter Rabbit. Hume’s willingness to experiment and try new things means his sound will only become deeper and more moving as time goes on.
“I'd love to put a band together, a jam band and try that tribal thing. I've got this vision, a rotating chaotic jam band and call them The Sonic Temple Builders…I love gospel, blues, and soul, things like that, where you give people an experience and almost reach out somehow. It's more difficult to do that solo but it's
Neil Johnson has managed to play over 300 gigs a year in the last 5 years, teach private lessons at a local music store, and raise his son by day. He's performed for 1500 and he's performed for 15. "It's all the same" according to Neil. "The distraction of phones, and TV's, and information overload has me especially angsty' these days, but I'm not jaded yet, in fact I'm just getting started."
This view makes it known that he can use music as a way of escaping from reality. This scene reminds me of one from “Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly” during his first concert in what looks like a parking lot with only 50 people, but he still acts like it's sold out and in a stadium. In contrast, “Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly” highlights the highs and lows of the famous rapper. The documentary gives great detail into Travis Scott’s creative process as an artist, his rags to riches story, and the challenges he has had to overcome to get to where he is now. One scene that I think shows how far his self expression has gotten him is his performance at the Astroworld Festival, where he shows his emotion through self-written songs as he performs.
“I don’t know if I was happy that day – those tense and edgy feelings were getting stronger and stronger – but I do know I’ve never been happy since.”
Others interesting facts about him, is that he likes different types of music, for instance, he likes

We recently caught up with twenty-year-old Devonte Riley fresh off the BET Soul Train Awards, for a little one on one. As an aspiring singer, songwriter/actor/producer, Riley is precisely what the R&B pop world needs at the moment. Furthermore, he has stated in his own words that he is ready to bring back the feel-good vibes of 90’s R&B soul. Being soft spoken and mature for his age, what stood out throughout our conversation, is the level of understanding of fame and the music industry that surpasses veteran recording artists in the business. Although he already had a discernment of all the pitfalls that younger artists, fall victim to every time, his accomplishments are evidence of the spectacular talent and wisdom he possesses.
“What I was really hanging around for, I was trying to feel some kind of good-by. I mean I 've left schools and places I didn 't even know I was leaving them. I hate that. I don 't care if it
Just filling me in on what it really means to do music and me apart of the music industry. During the studio session I watched him work. I watch how big cuz orchestrate his voice to bring life to the track. Pure Magic. He walked in the booth no chains, not under the influence of any substance and he works. A professional already at this stage in my career. He even played engineer as he already knows how he wants to sound. But how? Man than talent. As a rapper/poet myself I had to ask doog how could I make it. "Have a plan and be ready to sacrifice. Just work bra and be yourself and if they feel you they'll follow you". After a long day of work and running round I'm glad I got a chance to ride with Doog and really see him work. Thanks
When he performs, he knows no limits with the material h writes. He jokes a lot about situations at home with his wife and son and pokes fun at his own life inbetween his ‘serious talks’. He loves to talk political even though he admits he doesn’t fully understand what is going on. He shows
DJ-Pon3, as she was called on stage, stepped away from the booth sweating and feeling the warmth throughout her entire body. Even as the maestro she was not immune to the music’s hypnotic effects. No, in fact her position perhaps made her the most vulnerable. It was a rush, a thrill, a love. She got to do what she loved. And so she went to her employer with a smile.
how to draw the best out of his talent. Unlike most artists, he has an understanding of what it
As a child I frequently made up little songs, and there seemed to be a constant stream of music in my head. I could see myself in the children she was observing and like them I didn’t have a framework for my experience – it was just my life. Whether it was singing while playing, tapping out some rhythm, singing at the top of my lungs to a favorite song, or goosebumps from hearing “Hall of the Mountain King”, it all felt familiar and warming. It has also made me aware of the musicking I continue to make every day in small ways here and
The music gave me an impression that I was in a cartoon. The setting was an open field, sunny, and lots of flowers. One problem is there was this one bee that is chasing me. It an never ending chase. In a ways it’s like Tom and Jerry just without the pain. The music felt
