34: Alt. Down Under - Owelu Dreamhouse - “Black in Australia, White in Nigeria”

On this episode of Alt. Down Under, Luke sits down with Nkechi Anele, the voice behind Owelu Dreamhouse - one of the most exciting projects coming out of Melbourne’s soul scene right now.Having cut her teeth as the frontwoman of beloved Melbourne six-piece, Saskwatch, Nkechi has spent years building her sound and her community. With Owelu Dreamhouse, she steps into something far more personal - a project shaped by reconnecting with her Nigerian heritage and exploring what it means to exist between cultures.She dives into the story behind the band’s name - inspired by her grandmother - and how that connection to family and identity runs through the music. From stepping away from music entirely to finding her way back with a renewed sense of self, this is a conversation about growth, belonging and creative honesty.Plus… a brief but important debate about foreheads!
