Episode 60: Ashlea Jaye – Left On Seen

If you know me (or simply listen to the podcast – both are very good options), then you'd likely know how much I like to surround myself with musicians I both enjoy and respect. Frankly, with that in mind, I reckon you can't go past someone like Ashlea Jaye.A lifelong lover of music and a self-described theatre kid, Ashlea has been a supporter of music for as long as I've known her. If you're from Adelaide, you might know her from her time hosting the Peripheral Noise show on Three D Radio, or you might know her from musical groups such as Twin Decoy or Left On Seen.It's the latter which might jog your memory the most, with the duo (which also comprises Will Adam) releasing some stellar music in recent years. Whether it's the killer debut single "Life Support," their cover of SZA's "Kill Bill," or their brilliant 'Wilted' EP from this year, you can't go wrong.Alongside that though, Ashlea is also a huge supporter and advocate for those with disabilities both in and out of the music scene. An AuDHD, disabled artist, creative, musician, singer, and writer who juggles so much in her day to day, the fact that July was Disability Pride Month felt like an immensely fitting time for us to speak.Also, because it's the month in which Left On Seen will play a stellar hometown show as part of Fangz' album launch tour. It's also going to be a special one, but I'll let Ashlea tell you why that is…Oh, in case you couldn't tell, Ashlea is my guest on this week's podcast! Needless to say, I'm always happy to use this podcast to showcase musicians who I call friends, and this was a great opportunity for Ashlea and myself to just nerd out for… a long time.Anyway, have a listen to Left On Seen's back catalogue, buy a ticket to their upcoming show, have a listen to our chat, and I’ll see you at the end of the episode for some general housekeeping.
