I remember watching Adelaide's own Germein Sisters perform during the Fringe recently and thinking how much they'd improved in such a short space of time.
I'd initially taken notice of them when they released their video for 'Golden', which was filmed on their uncles farm near Minlaton on the Yorke Peninsula. I grew up in Mid North Yorke Peninsula and it was great to see it represented on screen, even if just for a few minutes. I also wondered where the inspiration for the video came from.
With hectic touring schedules, interviews and all the other work that goes into being a musician, you can't help but wonder where they find the time and energy to write songs, and great songs at that.
On tour in Germany, Georgia Germein offered up her answers to those creativity questions.
What inspired us to become musicians?
What inspired us to become musicians?
Music has always been a big part of our lives growing up, and something fun we would do together as kids. We never expected to make music a career for ourselves, but since forming it and our early success it made sense to continue with it, and we're grateful for all the opportunities that have come because of this. Our parents certainly inspired us and encouraged us throughout our musical journey.
What keeps us motivated?
The love we have for music certainly keeps us motivated. Although the industry can be very tough, we enjoy playing and writing so much that outweighs challenging times. We also love touring because of all the amazing places we get to visit, and the people we get to meet.
Specific thing that we do to help us get in a creative mind?
As the songwriter (Georgia), I try to make time to write almost every day. Before going on stage and performing, we warm up by singing in 3 part harmonies together which helps us get in the zone for live.
It's great to see the Clara, Ella and Georgia making a splash overseas, and here's hoping we see (and hear) a lot more of them in the years to come!
