Rosaline Yuen on Diff'rent Strokes

Catch local indie artist, Rosaline Yuen, on Diff'rent Strokes tonight as we discuss songwriting and releasing music!

(Rosaline Yuen makes cute, quirky indie pop! A Diff'rent Strokes preferred genre)

There has been a bit of a DIY-music theme to our Shoe Swaps lately! Last week, Jade briefed us on singing techniques and Dave gave a Guide To Auto-Tune...

This week we're striking the same chords to a diff'rent tune: with an interview with a recording artist and Jade getting into songwriting.

(Dave plays video games: how do you work this thing?)

It's all part of the dynamic duo's Shoe Swapping of 'down time activities': with a Monday to Friday schedule as hectic as theirs', this week Dave will unwind Jade-style with back-to-back video games... while Jade gets creative putting pen to paper.

Rosaline Yuen will join us from 10:30pm onwards! And we'll hear how a real working muso tackles the indie market...
