GOD QUEEN<br />
GOD QUEEN<br />
God Queen is a non-profit collective of forward-thinking female artists<br />
who decided they weren’t going to buy into the tall-poppy mentality or<br />
compete with one another to be successful. Think along the lines of<br />
Wu-Tang Clan. God Queen are a posse of individually strong artists<br />
who have united to create a movement that impacts the world. Operating<br />
more like a tribal community, they work together for the shared success<br />
and mutual benefit of the tribe and the greater world they live<br />
in. Sometimes feisty, heartbroken, sexy and even ugly, but always<br />
self-determined.<br />
KIRBANU<br />
The Australian-born, German-based songwriter Kirbanu is excited to<br />
be returning Down Under to promote her newest album, Drifting, and<br />
to perform at the beautiful Seven Sisters Festival. An artist whose stage<br />
presence is about creating an authentic, heartfelt connection with her<br />
audience, and whose music is warm and emotionally rich, Kirbanu is<br />
looking forward to sharing musical space with the women of Seven<br />
Sisters. Combining folk elements with modern pop, this is an acoustic act<br />
where skilled guitar play meets a powerful, touching voice carried on the<br />
heart. Music to be felt, not just heard.<br />

JOEY<br />
JOANNA “JOEY” REMENYI<br />
“Joey is a special soul walking our earth. Bask in her glow for a couple<br />
of hours and you will feel more open, generous, happy, blissful and<br />
compassionate as a result.” Justine Martini<br />
Joey teaches the gift of self-compassion through yoga, music and the art<br />
of stillness. She has unique training from psychology and audiology,<br />
specialising in the neuroscience of our mind and senses. With over 16<br />
years of experience, Joey has worked with thousands of people seeking<br />
to go within.<br />

KAISHA<br />
KAISHA<br />
Kaisha are an exciting up-and-coming band from the hills of Melbourne.<br />
Forming as a trio in 2012, but with a collective musical history of 15<br />
years behind them, Kaisha are a distinct fusion of Middle Eastern rock<br />
and progressive, shamanic soundscapes. With diverse influences such as<br />
The Tea Party, A Perfect Circle and Dead Can Dance, Kaisha are carving<br />
out a unique sound previously unheard in the Australian music scene.<br />
They are: Kaisha Hekimian on lead vocals, oud and twelve-string acoustic<br />
guitar; Ivy Hekimian on keyboards, piano accordion and vocals; and<br />
Djulz Chambers on djembe and darbuka.<br />
LEANNE BUGAT<br />
Leanne is an international, award-winning singer/songwriter/guitarist, originally<br />
from Melbourne, but now residing in Perth, Western Australia. Leanne has been<br />
captivating audiences with her voice, which has been described as sounding ‘like<br />
honey’, while other listeners have experienced goose bumps. She has been writing<br />
since her early 20s and has used her art as an outlet for emotional pain. Most people<br />
can relate to Leanne’s music, as she writes in an honest style. She does this by using<br />
others’ experiences or stories and makes them sound like her own, even though<br />
they may or may not be! Leanne’s music is inspired by conversations, movies,<br />
books, dreams, visions, love and loss. Leanne looks forward to sharing her music<br />
at Seven Sisters Festival in March and spending some time in her hometown in the<br />
Yarra Valley.<br />

KATTIMONI SOUL SISTERS<br />
KATTIMONI SOUL SISTAS<br />
Kattimoni is a powerhouse urban soul-mama vocalist arising in<br />
the global Conscious Music Movement. She sings with vibrant and<br />
energetic groove-based funk rhythms, inspired by reggae and hip hop<br />
vibes. Presenting an all-female funk line-up, especially crafted for<br />
SSF, Kattimoni showcases some of Melbourne’s most deadly soul sista<br />
musicians. ‘Kattimoni’ means ‘to radiate light’ and her music offers a<br />
message of hope and transformation, of rising up, overcoming adversity<br />
and transcending limitations.<br />
LITTLE WISE<br />
What’s in a name? A lot, apparently. Whether by choice or by design,<br />
Sophie Klein embodies the Yiddish/Germanic and Greek origins of her<br />
name. This singer/songwriter is small in stature, but can tell a tall story<br />
with the wisdom of an old soul. Her unique blend of folk-roots music<br />
is both tender and gritty. Her vocals are wistful, feminine and perfectly<br />
matched to her songs. Klein has returned to Asia and outback Australia<br />
with a swag of carefully crafted new songs. She’s on the brink of releasing<br />
her first full-length album, following her ‘Sweet Rain Falling’ and<br />
‘Moments of Clarity’ EPs.<br />
