Firstly, Roy shares the band's latest updates and highlights their strong bond, mentioning how Yimila Gurruwiwi and Dimathaya Burarrwanga's kids recently joined them on stage at the Enmore Theatre. This close-knit connection within the band adds a unique element to their performances.

As the son of Yothu Yindi bass player Stuart Kellaway, Roy reminisces about his early memories of touring with a band as a child. These experiences have undoubtedly shaped his musical journey with King Stingray.

King Stingray is on the rise, and Roy reveals some incredible moments that made them pinch themselves with excitement.

As a music producer, I've come across this situation more than a few times: an artist is solely handling all writing, booking, managing, and financing their 'band'.

My immediate reaction is usually something like, 'Why are you giving away a majority stake in your business to people who do nothing more than play your songs?'.

It's an obviously crazy decision when you think about it that way. Take the scenario described above and apply it to a 4 piece band (which is a real scenario I've seen), and the sole operator/songwriter has agreed to give the other musicians equal stakes in the business - meaning that every member in the band is getting 25% of the businesses revenue, even though they aren't doing anything other than performing your songs.

Don't get me wrong - performers deserve to be compensated fairly - but are they really contributing to the growth and future of the business? In most cases, no - and instead they should be paid for their services, as a fee rather than in ownership.

In this episode we break down:

• Why solo artists are often too afraid to bring this up with their musicians
• The importance of discussing this with your band as soon as possible
• Why it might be better NOT to go solo (in a lot of cases)
• And much, much more!

Kayti Korte is my guest on the podcast this week. She’s the singer and bass player for the duo Desperate Electric and we dive deep into how the band has transitioned from full time touring to isolating and performing from home, the stigmas of being a woman in music and how she overcomes it, and why it's important to think of your career and band like a business.
 

Quotes that Stood Out:

• “If you want something to be your job, you have to make it your job.”
• “If you break it down, I think that we can see the value in spending an amount of money to have that time back.”
• Regarding the stigma of being a woman in a band: “It’s not assumed that women could be in bands, and it’s definitely assumed that they’re not going to play an instrument.”
• “As a female singer you have to be amazing or people literally think you suck.”
• “We’re all making art and everybody should feel like they can do that and they feel supported to do that in whatever capacity they want.”
• “Find your people, find your support system.”
• “Don’t be afraid to reach out to people who are doing it.”
• “At the end of the day, people in the music industry are all pretty much going through the same thing, just on different scales.”
