Put Us First Fest

Put Us First Fest is an all ages day of workshops for women and non binary folks who want to pursue music, whether it’s their hobby, passion project or career, presented by 4ZZZ and QMusic.

PUF Fest will be a hands on learning experience in a non-judgemental environment led by Brisbane's best in their fields. We'll be covering a broad range of topics on the day, including:

JimmyJames

JimmyJames is a Brisbane-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. As co-founder, songwriter, instrumentalist and lead singer of the band Paper Road, he has developed a distinctive voice that blends personal storytelling with rich melodic sensibility.

Keely Eggmolesse

Keely is a proud Gubbi Gubbi / Gooreng Gooreng / Ni- Vanuatu descendant; a professional, a mother, an activist and artist. Her mana is her music - drawing power from her cultural roots, inspiration from nature, and soul from her experiences of love and loss; ever-intertwining. Her vocal stylings are reminiscent of a summer's day, seamlessly fusing elements of neo- soul, R&B and modern jazz. Keely uses wordplay paired with sweet notes to take a lighthearted approach to deliver sometimes "heavy" content; exploring topics such as racial and gender oppression, abuse, trauma, and addiction.
