Kylie Auldist: Singing, Soul, Songwriting, Music Rights, and Laughs

This week, I’m joined by the legendary Kylie Auldist—singer, songwriter, and one of Australia’s most respected voices in funk, soul, and disco. You might know her as the powerhouse vocalist of The Bamboos, Cookin’ on 3 Burners, or from her incredible solo work. And of course, her voice took This Girl (Kungs vs Cookin’ on 3 Burners) to global chart domination, with over a billion streams and international acclaim.This chat was an absolute blast—Kylie made me laugh so much! We dive into her journey through the music industry, her time playing in bars and bands, the realities of music rights and royalties, and what it means to be a headliner. We also talk about writing partnerships, longevity in the music scene, and how it feels to be considered ‘old’ in an industry that often prioritizes youth.Kylie is as down-to-earth as she is talented, and this conversation is packed with insight, honesty, and plenty of fun. Don’t miss it!
