Social Media // ARTISTS
A FEW EXAMPLES OF HOW PARTICIPATING Artists WERE ACTIVE IN CALLIN ON FANS TO CONSIDER ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
- LIME CORDIALE // Climate Concert with Angust & Julia Stone for pro-climate independent Dr Sophie Scamps in Avalon
- JACK RIVER // "It’s a particularly real time to be talking about this song. The country is one week out from an election and nothing feels sure or secure for young people. Scientists have said this week that we will tip over 1.5 degrees within the next 5 years - triggering irreversible climate damage, and therefore economic and human damage."
- ESKIMO JOE // "We're really excited to come together with other artists of all ages and styles to inspire action for climate and conservation."
- RORY PHILLIPS // “I co-wrote this song in 2018 because I was so inspired by Greta Thunberg, a young person just like me, using her small voice to make a loud noise about our planet with “School Strike for Climate” that was gaining momentum and attention around the world. To see a young person making such a difference, such an impact; I wanted to do something too. Music is the best tool I had, so I set out to write a song which stood for something. The lyrics are subtle, not in your face; but the message is clear. We need to do more, from the top down.”
- RORY PHILLIPS // On the front page of his local regional newspaper
- WILLIAM CRIGHTON // "The severity of the floods are inarguably the result of climate change. The kids are a major inspiration for my work in general and my writing, but particularly when it comes to caring for the home they will inherit, mother earth."
- SAGE ROADKNIGHT // "I hope that you've all been able to connect with earth today, and considered how you will vote in the upcoming election to save our planet"
- LITTLE GREEN // Wearing the NO MUSIC ON A DEAD PLANET t-shirt we gave her
- SMALL ISLAND BIG SONG // "What will we tell our children if we fail to protect our planet?"
- MERAKI MAE // "Honoured to be nominated alongside some truly outstanding musicians and change makers and give voice to the community that shaped me. Warrior is such an important song to me about change, about unity, about solidarity and strength and community."
- RORY PHILLIPS // "Incredibly proud to be an official ambassador again this year and can’t wait to watch and listen to all the inspiring music videos trying to make a difference in our world."
- JESS RIBEIRO // #nomusiconadeadplanet @musicdeclares @greenmusicau @environmentalmusicprize

- ART DISRUPT // This collection is an eclectic mix of perspectives, vibes, emotion, stories, and connection. Immerse yourself and get inspired. "
- KING STINGRAY // "We wrote 'Hey Wanhaka' because the Lorrpu (white cockatoo) holds great significance in Yolungu culture. It extends far beyond one animal, it is a concept about living in balance with the environment"
- WHAT SO NOT // "I’ve been announced as a finalist for the Environmental Music Prize for my work on Messin’ Me Up. Thanks to everyone chipping away at this grand task, making small but sweeping changes day to day."
- CIARRAN GRIBBIN // "As a community of musicians and fans we have millions of deep connections every week. If we raise our voice on climate action together, we will be heard."
