On behalf of myself and my guests, I would like to acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians on which this podcast is recorded and produced. Owners and custodians on which this podcast is recorded and produced. May we pay our respects to all First Nations people and acknowledge Elders, past and present. On this podcast, I'll be chatting to an array of creative guests, getting a glimpse into their worlds and having some honest and inspiring conversations along the way. I'm delighted to welcome you to Through the Creative Door. Hello Blake 00:51 - Blake (Guest) Hello Alexis. How are you doing? 00:53 - Alexis (Host) I'm so good I am all sorts of emotions right now. I'm very, very chuffed that you said yes to coming onto Through the Creative Door. 01:04 - Blake (Guest) Well, listen, we're talking about creativity, which is something that I do every day, that a lot of people do every day, and it's good to talk about. 01:12 - Alexis (Host) For those listening. I need to at least even remotely touch the sides with your creative ventures, because you are such a talented bear. 01:21 - Blake (Guest) I've been around for a while. 01:23 - Alexis (Host) No, you just. I love that you are such an advocate for the arts but more importantly, you have demonstrated just how much of an advocate you are for live music and for musicians in Western Australia, which, as a musician, it's so lovely to have people that are advocating and pushing that forward. But that is one of many things that you do. Music is your first love, like you're a musician, you're the front man and the manager and everything of the corporate band Proof. 01:57 - Blake (Guest) Correct. 01:57 - Alexis (Host) Oh my God, you're an MC, you do radio, but you also do work for ABC sporadically as well. 02:04 - Blake (Guest) I mean, I think I mean I've been doing this for, you know, 18 years, something around about there and you end up doing a lot of different things and it all kind of seems like the same thing after a while. So, yeah, I'm on air with Mix, I do some freelance stuff with ABC for whatever shows they've got going on. We have a show on Foxtel Music, director of Channel 7's Telethon, run a company called Williams Creative which is half agency, half creative company, and we can talk about what that does because it's a big part of my life. Plus, yeah, proof the Band, and I'm exhausted just thinking about it, to be honest. 02:37 But it's all music, it's all performance, it's all about pushing an industry forward and that's the performance side of my life. There's the other side, which is the advocacy side of not only music but also entertainment, arts and events, and so recently, as the president of the EIA, which is the Event Industry Association, which is all about putting events in front of government and going how do we get funding? How do we change legislation? How do we get grants? How do we make sure that creatives get grants that don't just, you know, fall by the wayside? So there's a lot of things that kind of fill the diary. But it's all positive and it's all in service of arts. 03:11 - Alexis (Host) Yes, yes, and I think that is the ...

You have this beautiful band of phenomenal humans who, just in their own right, are just amazing. 01:55 - Junior (Guest) Good people, yeah, good people. 01:57 - Alexis (Host) Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I don't know. You just do amazing stuff. Everyone needs to check you out. 02:04 - Junior (Guest) They should. 02:08 - Alexis (Host) But, to start things off. We're going to start off with what does a creative space mean to you and why? 02:18 - Junior (Guest) Creative space. It's like where I create things, where, like peaceful, it's connected to me, I feel free to do whatever I want to do. Like that is creative space to me. It feel like no boundaries, you know, like when you get like just creating things and feel free to do anything. That's like a creative space for me. 02:41 - Alexis (Host) Do you feel like that needs to be a peaceful physical space, or is it more of a mental space for you? Do you think? 02:51 - Junior (Guest) I think it needs to be a peaceful place, because when I create, I like to be me, yeah, yeah. And after then it can be physical, you know, but for when I created, I like to feel and to be connected to what I'm doing yeah, yeah, yeah. 03:09 - Alexis (Host) And is is it like, do you need to have instruments around you or do you feel like you can just like? Create from thin air. 03:20 - Junior (Guest) It depends, so I always have my guitar whenever I'm writing songs, because I feel like sometimes I sing song, but I feel better when I have the guitar because it's shaped me in tune, because I feel my vocal is not on tune till I hear instrument, because when someone like tell me sing, now I can sing. 03:40 - Alexis (Host) Really no, no, I don't believe that at all, I never tell anyone. Guys don't say anything. 03:50 - Junior (Guest) Yeah, yeah.
