She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self.

About Bobby:

“Find your flow and go about each day to the rhythm of your own making.” That’s the musical theme and personal mission for Byron Bay singer, ukulele strummer and drummer Bobby Alu. Amidst smooth harmonies, rhythms inspired by a strong family lineage of Polynesian performance, and unassuming grooves that work a gradual, smile-inducing high through even a casual listener, Bobby Alu tunes have a way of sneaking into the subconscious and taking up residence. Having toured extensively with Xavier Rudd, John Butler Trio, The Beautiful Girls, Bobby has also performed and co-written a song for the Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony.

Contact Bobby: Website / Facebook / Instagram

Song credit: “Would It Feel Nice?” Music and Lyrics by Charles Wall (Bobby Alu). Performed live by Bobby Alu at IHSC Headquarters.

Understanding Music Copyright and Sync: What Songwriters Need to Know 1:23:52

منذ 40 weeks1:23:52

1:23:52

In the music industry, everything you do with your songs revolves around copyright, and the effective exploitation of your copyright. One of the ways to exploit that copyright is to have your music synced to films and TV shows and ads. In this conversation with Music Supervisor, Tyler McLoughlan, we break down the key concepts of music copyright, sync, and how songwriters can make the most of this space.
