I never wanted to be a musician because my mum was a musician- She’s a jazz singer and my dad’s an amazing guitarist. And so I was focusing on that whilst I was going to acting school. I wanted to be a glamorous actress (laughs). I remember when we met, I wanted to be an actress. Seems like it happened very quickly… when I met you I didn’t know that you were talented on the guitar and you could sing. Let’s start off with when you picked first up that guitar and realised you had a gift.

And who better to do it than Indigo’s good friend and pro skater, Austyn Gillette? The pair got on the phone from Austyn’s LA and Indigo’s spot in the Northern Rivers of Australia to chat about Echo, and, well, we might just have a new music journo on staff. With her forthcoming debut LP Echo on the way (produced by and featuring collabs from members of Big Thief) and some burning questions on our mind, we knew it was time to get her on the horn and find out more.

And while it might have taken a couple of detours to finally find her way to songwriting, her ethereal vocals and soothing, lullaby-like tracks more than make up for lost time. After moving to LA and falling out of love with the grind of making it as an actress, she turned instead to the guitar. The daughter of a jazz musician mother and a dad who shreds on guitar, Australian-born Indigo grew up immersed in surrounded by good music and endless creative opportunity.
