Q&A with Kinder: Insights from the Australian Electronic Duo

\n

\"Attack

\n

Kinder are Briony and Savannah, sisters from Maitland, Australia, making waves in electronic music. While sibling duos are common in other genres, it’s rare to find such a dynamic family pairing in dance music. Naturally, we had questions — so we sat them down for a quick Q&A.

\n\n

Getting to Know Kinder

\n\n

Why music?

\n

Because the world can’t exist without it. Music transcends boundaries and connects people in ways that words alone cannot. It serves as a universal language, allowing us to express emotions, tell stories, and share experiences.

\n\n

If you weren’t making music, what would you be doing?

\n

    \n

  • Savannah: Clinical psychologist, something in marketing, or maybe acting. I’m not quite sure.

    • \n

  • Briony: Social worker.

    • \n

\n\n

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

\n

    \n

  • Savannah: Hard conversations = easy life. Easy conversations = hard life. This has taught me the importance of addressing issues head-on rather than avoiding them.

    • \n

  • Briony: Rejection can be the greatest guidance of all. It’s a reminder that every setback is an opportunity for growth.

What inspires you?

\n

Other creatives and people doing what they love. We learn so much from bold artists who share their work authentically. Their passion fuels our own creativity and pushes us to explore new avenues in our music.

\n\n

What’s the next big thing?

\n

Algae technology. Look into it. It’s fascinating how this sustainable resource can impact various industries, including energy and food production, and we believe it will play a significant role in the future.

\n\n

Best club experience?

\n

Poof Doof at The Ivy – our first show after lockdown. The energy was incredible. It felt like a reunion for everyone, and the atmosphere was electric, reminding us why we love performing live.

\n\n

What’s the worst job you’ve ever had?

\n

    \n

  • Savannah: A local café in high school. I used to have nightmares because the boss was so scary and once called me incompetent in front of everyone. It was a tough learning experience.

    • \n

  • Briony: A men’s clothing store in Australia (not naming names). The manager made me work with a bucket behind the counter while I was sick. It taught me the importance of standing up for myself.

\n\n

How do you know when a track’s finished?

\n

We don’t. It’s a constant struggle between perfectionism and knowing when to let go. Sometimes, you just have to trust your instincts and move on.

\n\n

What was your last day job and when did you realise you could give it up?

\n

After high school, we committed fully to music. We took every small club gig we could, lived paycheck to paycheck, and never looked back. It was a leap of faith that has paid off in ways we never imagined.

\n\n

Which song do you wish you wrote?

\n

    \n

  • Savannah: \”Graceland\” by Paul Simon. The storytelling and melody are timeless.

    • \n

  • Briony: \”Ribs\” by Lorde. It captures such raw emotion and nostalgia.

    • \n

\n\n

What’s the easiest way to make it in the music industry?

\n

Don’t stop until you do. Persistence is key. The industry is tough, but if you believe in your music and keep pushing forward, you’ll find your place.

\n\n

What’s the worst track you’ve ever released?

\n

We’ll tell you our second worst because we couldn’t handle it if you found the worst. Our song \”Something More\” is… cute. It was a learning experience, and we’ve grown since then.

\n\n

Recommend us a film.

\n

    \n

  • Savannah: Shutter Island. A great psychological thriller—I still don’t get it. It keeps you guessing until the very end.

    • \n

  • Briony: Casper Meets Wendy. A nostalgic favorite that never fails to make me smile.

    • \n

\n\n

Recommend us a book.

\n

    \n

  • Savannah: Conversations on Love. It offers profound insights into relationships and connections.

    • \n

  • Briony: The Universe Has Your Back. A reminder to trust the journey and embrace positivity.

    • \n

\n\n

What or who is underrated?

\n

    \n

  • Savannah: Umbrellas. With all our technology, no one’s improved them. They’re essential yet often overlooked.

    • \n

  • Briony: Mason Dane. His talent deserves more recognition.

    • \n

\n\n

What or who is overrated?

\n

    \n

  • Savannah: Seafood and coffee. They get a lot of hype, but they’re not for everyone.

    • \n

  • Briony: Vaping. It’s become a trend, but we question its long-term effects.

    • \n

What are you addicted to?

\n

    \n

  • Savannah: Overthinking my problems. It’s a habit I’m working on breaking.

    • \n

\n\n

What do you lust over?

    • \n

  • Briony: I think I need to find something to lust over. I’m open to suggestions!
