SISTER SOUNDWAVES

Joshua (16) has been crafting his track “Lifeforms Approaching” since early this year, inspired by Subnautica and prog-metal bands like Intervals. With producer Bret on guitars and mix, and friend Cousteau mastering, this heavy, cinematic piece is a true team effort. The project pushed Josh to new creative heights through months of focused work.

Sisters Lily (8) and Daisy (7) spent their summer recording original music in the studio! Together they created “No One Can Talk To Me”, with Lily on lead vocals and Daisy on background harmonies. Lily also released two solo tracks: “I Can’t Wait For You” and the festive “Christmas in Summer”. Their creativity and teamwork in the studio gave them a fun, hands-on way to build confidence through music.
