#240 Duxie Franklin Unfiltered: Hidden Aussie Indie Gem You Need to Hear | After the Storm Breakdown

In this raw and inspiring episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered, we dive deep into the world of Melbourne/Naarm artist Duxie Franklin — singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, visual artist, costume designer, and director who crafts her own flamboyant stage worlds. Once a rising elite tennis player ranked in Australia’s top 200, Duxie’s career was derailed by a devastating ACL injury and knee reconstruction. What could have been the end became the spark for her musical rebirth. We explore how her athletic discipline fuels songwriting bootcamps, full creative control, and a fearless indie path blending alt-folk, indie-pop, surf-rock, and theatrical flair.From her latest 80s-inspired power ballad "After the Storm" (and its stunning new music video) to quirky anthems like "Chlorine" (with its epic underwater visuals), poolside philosophizing in "In the pool, wasting time", and earlier gems from the Watch Your Soul EP, Duxie shares unfiltered stories on vulnerability, Koalaism, social media grind, and building her Factory of Art & Music community. Perfect for fans of Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell, Björk, and anyone who loves authentic artist pivots. This is the undiscovered gem you’ll be obsessing over.Duxie Franklin is a Melbourne-based alt-folk/pop singer-songwriter and multi-disciplinary artist. Half Austrian, half Zimbabwean, she’s a self-taught multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar, ukulele, bass, violin) who directs her own striking music videos, designs/sews costumes, and pours personal metaphor and vulnerability into every project. Praised as “one of Australia’s most unique and exciting emerging acts,” her work mixes theatrical quirk, emotional depth, and everyday joys.Key Tracks Featured:"After the Storm" "Chlorine""Chlorine"Watch Your Soul Sink")Watch "After the Storm" Official Music Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZMyjSBJ-bEDuxie’s Official Site: https://www.duxiefranklin.com/Bandcamp (support directly): https://duxiefranklin.bandcamp.com/Instagram: @duxiefranklinYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@duxiefranklinSpotify / Apple Music: Search “Duxie Franklin” (links via her site)Support the show & grow with us:Like, comment, share with a fellow music nerd — it really helps independent pods like ours get discovered.Follow on YouTube / Spotify / Apple Podcasts @ Unfiltered and UndiscoveredUnfiltered & Undiscovered — Real talk.
