Content warning: Ableism, racism, ageism and domestic abuse
My guest this month is talented Filipina-Australian singer, dancer and rapper, Danii. We yarn about Danii's connection to her heritage, her love of music (especially K-pop) and how she got her start in show biz. We also talk about her experiences of discrimination in general and in the music industry, why representation matters, and how there needs to be more of a spotlight on women of colour performers.
Follow Danii on Instagram iamdaniimusic and her website iamdanii.com.
