Mallrat is a Brisbane-based teenager with a knack for creating outrageously catchy pop tunes. She sings, she raps, she makes everybody dance.
Tell us about your music. How did you develop your sound?
I’m still developing my sound! I listen to everything so my music is a bit mish mash, I think that’s cool though.
What’s your greatest source of inspiration for making music?
I want to document being human and imperfect and then make people feel something with that.
What can punters expect from a Mallrat live show?
Dancing!
What’s the best advice you’ve been given and who was it from?
I’m learning to drive right now and dad told me “know what you’re doing when you approach a roundabout” and “don’t spend your whole life slowing down for speed bumps”. These are both great metaphors for life.
What Australian track would you play to cheer up someone who was crying?
What Australian track would you play to someone to make them cry?
You’re the DJ at a party. The dance floor is pumping. What Australian track do you put on next?
What was the last local gig you went to? How was it?
I haven’t been to one in ages because there aren’t enough underage shows and I’m 17! I’ve seen
Gill Bates a few times though, he always kills it.
Tell us about the bands or people in your music community that inspire you.
The Brisbane music scene is so supportive, it feels like a big family. Everyone in a band is in five other bands and if you go to a local hip hop show you’ll catch all the other guys dancing and rapping along for sure.
What are your plans for the rest of 2016?
Make music, friends and travel.
