NORTH was formed in early 2012 by singer and  songwriter Jordan Johnson, drummer Akshay Deokuliar and electric guitarist Shobith John, and were joined shortly after by Sean and Zoe Tuckey contributing to the band bass, piano and vocals.

Drawing from a vast array of musical likes, NORTH fit into a alternative rock genre with elements of Blues and Soul. NORTH is comprised of a bunch of eclectic creatives; photographers, writers, a digital marketer, an actor
and a producer. The band members bring to NORTH years of experience, and have been seen on stage and in music festivals in New Zealand, Thailand, South Africa, England,
Ireland, Nepal, and India.

They found themselves sharing a love for India where they have all, for different reasons ended up, but ultimately they share a passion and love for music.

London based Northern-Irish singer-songwriter.

BITCHES BREW is a brand new force in the Melbourne live music scene, combining the original compositions of trombonist and vocalist Lisa Baird (Lily & King, Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Lloyd Spiegel, SPIRE) with the badass instrumental skills of Chelsea Allen (Great Aunt, Paris Plan), Stella Anning (SAT, Push Portal), Sarah Holmes (Thando, SPIRE) and Cheryl Durongpisitkul (Koi Kingdom, Australian Art Orchestra).

A Melbourne-based singer-songwriter with a stripped-back sound, Simon merges folk with soul and blues to create a unique vibey collection of songs.  (All songs Copyright Simon Carter 2025).

I’ve posted the entire suite “In case nothing happens” on YouTube, including the parts (7 and 8) that are still missing here, accompanied by a very simple video.


Hello! I’m a university professor of history who enjoys playing guitar and piano/keyboard, and occasionally composing — unpretentiously, just for fun. I’ve been here for at least 10 years, but only recently have I started using the platform for something other than just external digital storage.
Most of my recordings (made with a KorgD8, Audacity, and more recently Reaper for MIDI and the Spitfire Audio libraries) are entirely homemade and decidedly imperfect. My music includes old songs (all written back in the last century; here I’ve only shared the ones I’ve reworked in recent years) as well as both old and new instrumentals.
Thanks for stopping by and giving something a listen; in the description you’ll often find explanatory notes or translations of the lyrics.

Here I’ve discovered a community of talented musicians and songwriters, and plenty of beautiful music to enjoy. Whenever I like, comment, or repost a track, it’s always the result of attentive listening. For the same reason, I’m not interested in trading empty “likes” without real engagement, and I won’t reply to messages from would-be promoters — follower counts don’t matter to me in the slightest.
