Nai Palm is the type of artist that arrives once in a generation. A two-time Grammy nominated singer, songwriter and musician from Australia, she is a composer, instrumentalist, producer, vocalist and poet who approaches all of these self-taught disciplines with an intuitive, infectious grace which sent her on a journey to sculpt songs that have been received and treasured across the world. It is a world she has travelled many times over with her band Hiatus Kaiyote, who along with Nai Palm, have become household names since they first began playing together in Melbourne in 2011. 

After the independent release of their debut album Tawk Tomahawk, word of mouth caught on like wildfire and within months they were championed by a host of R&B and hip hop’s most respected tastemakers and icons (Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, Jazzy Jeff, Erykah Badu, Prince). This eventually led to their signing with Salaam Remi's new imprint Flying Buddha (on Sony Music Masterworks) in 2013, and a Grammy Nomination for Best R&B Performance for their single ‘Nakamarra feat. Q-Tip.’ This Grammy nomination made them the first Australian artist ever to be recognized by the Grammys in an R&B category.

The Pawd podcast is recorded and sent out into the world from Hoboken, New Jersey. Hosted by Thomas DiFazio (TDFizzle) and Jay Gorman Wegimont (JG) The Pawd breaks down, pieces together, and finds out what is going on in this crazy world of the 21st century. Focusing on technology, futurism, finance, pop-culture, politics, and everything else that is spinning out of control on this crazy blue orb, TDFizzle and JG laugh and think and ponder life as we know it right now and the future. 

Happy to answer any questions, comments, or corrections The Pawd can be reached at ThePawdAPodcast@gmail.com

Simon is known for organic grooves from past decades and a faible for dance music in it’s actual meaning - music to dance to. Simon started collecting records over 15 years ago. As his collection has grown during the past years, his style has evolved too: you can hear Soul, Funk, Disco, Jazz but also House and Broken Beat in one of his sets. His passion and his understanding of DJing led him to found the brand VARIA INSTRUMENTS, where he started building high quality DJ mixers together with a friend. The result is a high quality rotary mixer as an alternative to cheap mass produced mixers for the consumer market. Today, the renowned ‘RDM20’ and ‘RDM40’ has found its use in clubs and record stores spread all over the globe and sometimes it’s even Simon himself who travels to those places to do what he loves the most: PLAYING OUT GOOD MUSIC AT GOOD PARTIES.
