Jamie鈥檚 guest on the show this week is the Australian singer and pianist, Allysha Joy, who joins him for a Take 5 interview!

Working out of the bubbling Melbourne scene, Allysha is a key part of the city鈥檚 influential jazz, hip-hop and soul collective 30/70. She has longstanding links to the UK though - touring here regularly and releasing her debut solo album, Acadie : Raw, on a British label in 2018 - an album which featured on many end-of-year lists.

Allysha鈥檚 latest EP, Light It Again, is a personal, reflective record, with lyrics touching on love, shame, mental health, grief and spirituality. Her soulful songwriting is supported by a cast of 30/70 bandmates and Grammy nominated Hiatus Kaiyote drummer Clever Austin serves as producer.

Allysha tells us about getting into jazz, her musical influences, standout gigs and what she鈥檚 been working on recently!
