This week, I’m joined by the incredible Raleigh Williams — a powerhouse vocalist, songwriter, and artistic producer with a deep and versatile career across jazz, soul, pop, world music, and more. Raleigh has led her own French jazz project La Nuit Blanche, headlined her own shows, performed with the ARIA Award-winning Cookin’ on 3 Burners, and was a vocalist with the rock-Americana-blues supergroup FOOLS. She’s also an in-demand session singer and artistic producer, curating and shaping Melbourne’s live music scene.

In this episode, we talk about the realities of being a working musician—the struggles, the passion, and the craft of music as a trade. We also dive into the technical side of singing, treating the voice as an instrument, and Raleigh’s personal experience with voice surgery. Her insights into the industry, artistic resilience, and musical adaptability make this a fascinating and inspiring conversation.

This one is packed with wisdom, honesty, and of course, plenty of laughs — don’t miss it!
