the fluffle podcast with Jocelle Koh

Upon meeting Toronto based alt-pop singer songwriter Chara Kai Le for the first time, it felt like we had known each other forever. A third culture kid who has grown up in Singapore, Malaysia and Gloucester, we immediately bonded over our shared third culture kid identity. Chara shared with us her experiences navigating this through her music, and how her perspective on this has evolved since her debut in 2020.

Indonesian heavy metal band Voice of Baceprot are the most pint sized heavy hitters you will ever meet. Coming from their hometown of Singajaya in West Java, Marsha, Siti and Widi have toured the world - gracing the likes of Glastonbury, SXSW, F1 and spreading their unique message of peace that comes from a very personal place. Drawing on their own personal experiences to speak on faith, sustainability and female empowerment in their music, these girls have taught me that anyone with a voice can make a change.

On this very special first episode of season 2 of the fluffle podcast, the tables have turned. Instead of me interviewing a fellow woman in music, I’ll be interviewed by our audio editor Small FRY, a dear friend who also wears multiple hats as a DJ, radio host and artist manager. We talked about all the bits of advice I’ve given over the first season of the podcast, and why drawing on my own inner strength has been such a key part of my own story through all my endeavours. Welcoming you, our dear listeners to the first episode of season 2 of the fluffle podcast!Podcast CreditsExecutive Producer & Host: Jocelle KohAudio Editor: Vivan Vo / Small FRY Marketing, Social Media & Production Assistance: Joon Shan KokMedia Partners: Asian Pop Weekly, Asian TonesSupported by Tunecore Background Music: “Solo Dates” by FIGFollow Jocelle on Instagram: @jocellekohFollow Small FRY on Instagram: @smallfryhqFollow fluffle on Instagram and Tiktok: @fluffle.asiaFind all episodes of the fluffle podcast here:https://fluffleasia.com/the-fluffle-podcast/If you're looking to distribute your music and retain 100% royalties, sign up for any Tunecore paid plan and get 35% off with the promo code FLUFFLE26.

When I first met Thai-Italian singer-songwriter Valentina Ploy, the thing that stood out to me the most was her warm, genuine energy that infected every room she was in. An artist that truly wears her heart on her sleeve, she has gone from strength to strength, gaining significant support for her music digitally, to opening for Coldplay last year. Now as an independent artist, we chatted to her in Bali at AXEAN festival about how she continues to keep her heart open despite the challenges life throws at her. And as the finale episode to the first season of the fluffle podcast, THANK YOU for sticking around. Drop us a comment on who you’d like us to interview in season 2 or what topics you’d like me to discuss! We love you! Warmest welcome for the last time on this season of the fluffle podcast to Valentina!Follow Valentina Ploy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/valentinaployFollow Valentina Ploy on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@valentinaploymusicFollow fluffle on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fluffle.asia/Follow fluffle on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fluffle.asiaIf you're looking to distribute your music and retain 100% royalties, sign up for any Tunecore paid plan and get 35% off with the FLUFFLE promo code.

My conversation with Malaysian singer-songwriter Anna Chong caught me completely off guard. What started off as a casual conversation about her trip to Singapore turned quickly into a deeply existential conversation about Anna’s relationship with her artistry as a musician with over 16 years of experience under her belt. It seems her relationship with her artistry not only sustains her financially and physically, but is just as much an important spiritual lifeline for her. The only catch is - we did this interview fully in Mandarin. So for those who can speak Mandarin, 我們要開始練習中文啦！For those who don’t, scrub to 33:52 for a tldr reflection from me in English about the interview!

In the heat of summer I made my way to one of my favourite cities in the world, Shanghai to interview one of my favourite all time podcast hosts and creators, Amber Akilla. DJ, music curator, host of the friend crush podcast, Amber is iconic for her radical perspectives on feminism, culture and her life philosophy of being hot and having fun which has sparked many an interesting discussion on the possibilities for women and queer individuals in today's society. While it was the first time we've met in person, we connected deeply on our roots growing up in Perth, Western Australia and our views on navigating the music industry and life as individuals from the diaspora. So excited to share this super fun conversation with you, and welcome Amber Akilla to the fluffle podcast!Follow Amber Akilla on Instagram: https://instagram.com/amberakillaFollow friend crush on Instagram: https://instagram.com/friend.crushFollow Amber Akilla on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amberakilla?_t=ZS-8zUJR7ZGzOy&_r=1Follow fluffle on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fluffle.asia/Follow fluffle on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fluffle.asiaIf you're looking to distribute your music and retain 100% royalties, sign up for any Tunecore paid plan and get 35% off with the FLUFFLE promo code.
