Uncut with Tones and I - "You’ve Got to ...

BRITTANY HOCKLEY AND LAURA BYRNE
About this episode

Today's interview felt like such an honour. It's with one of the most successful Australian artists, who likely needs little introduction, Tones and I!
She has over 10.5 billion streams worldwide. Her songs have been number 1 in 31 countries and she was the first female artist to reach 3 billion streams on spotify! 
But, Tones rarely does media and we feel so lucky that this is her first ever long form podcast. 
We chat about: 

  • Why Tones felt like hiding from a public life was a safer option
  • How she grew up and why she worked so hard for what she wanted
  • Dance Monkey catapulting her into the public space and what that felt like behind closed doors
  • Being in her sequin, confidence era
  • Choosing to go sober
  • Living as a married person with a bunch of friends
  • Touring with P!nk after offers from Robbie Williams 
  • Announcing her OWN national tour!

You can find everything about her tour at her website!
