ELLES (Canada) literally travelled the world with a backpack. She found PEPTALK online, hit us up to write together while she was in Australia and after an amazing session, a quick test drive in our car (to see how it felt on the other side of the road), and a GYG feed, we realised that we should make a mixtape with some of our favourite artists! Together we wrote ‘Timezones’ about feeling homesick but knowing you’re on the adventure of a lifetime so keep on keeping on.
PEPTALK LIVE PERFORMANCE
BIOGRAPHY
PEPTALK are your wholesome friends giving unsolicited advice. Made up of Jay-Lee Kwan (keys), Lara Frew (bass), and Phoebe Sinclair (lead vocals), PEPTALK’s presence has a comfort and confidence that only time and genuine friendship can bring. Proud of their intersectional identities as queer/poc women, PEPTALK are determined to be the positive representation they longed for growing up.
Each songwriters at their core, the group self produce (Lara & Phoebe produce under the moniker Middleman) and have created music for artists in the USA, Canada, Sweden, South Korea, France, New Zealand, UK and at home in Australia. Their collaboration with Aussie platinum-selling artist LDRU on his track “Alone Again” has garnered over a million streams.
Formed on a mutual adoration for good songwriting, pop hooks and iconic women in the music industry, PEPTALK is influenced by the likes of Remi Wolf, MUNA and Haim. Their recent collaborations with Grammy-nominated & Aria award-winning artist Montaigne, and Aussie triple threat Keiynan Lonsdale saw praise and playlisting from ARIA’s Mixtape, Rolling Stone, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Junkee Magazine, the Lowdown, EQ Music Blog, Triple J & Unearthed.
Fresh from performances at Gaytimes Festival, Sydney Festival, Bigsound 2024, Moomba Festival, St Kilda Festival, Sydney Fringe Festival, TedX Brisbane and at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, their live set is a vibrant sight to behold. The group have also supported Montaigne, Cry Club & Vetta Borne on their respective headline tours. PEPTALK bring an infectious energy along with a fierce desire to befriend literally everyone.
