Mentor: Husky

"We had been considering applying for the Mullum Youth Mentorship for quite some time but when we heard that Husky would be mentoring fireworks went off in our brains," the 16-year-old trio said.

"We've been fans of Husky for years now, and seeing them live at Bello Winter Music Festival only solidified our adoration.

"We hope to gain a stronger onstage presence and expand our original repertoire and learn more about the songwriting process."

Mentor: Ladyslug's Kodi Twiner

"I feel each instrument is like a new language and a new means of expressing what words cannot," the 17-year-old singer said.

"At the moment I play guitar, piano, alto sax, flute and sing. My dream is to uplift the human spirit, and bring the world closer together through my music. Having just finished school, this will be the perfect opportunity to start realising that dream."
