In this week’s show, I sit down for a heartfelt conversation with Shakaiah Perez (Lady Shaka). Together, we trace her journey from a vibrant childhood to becoming the acclaimed DJ and artist she is today.

As we talk, I find myself inspired by the creative forces that shaped her (from hip hop to Bollywood) and the way dance competitions, moving abroad, and navigating adversity all built her resilience. It’s a reminder of how powerful it can be when we back ourselves and honour where we come from.

This episode feels like a celebration of culture, identity, and artistic courage. I hope you feel the warmth that I did: an honest, uplifting reminder that representation matters, community carries us, and our stories deserve to be heard.

This week on Tuesday Lunch, Joy Ng joins the show. As one of the former owners of Sydney’s iconic The Bearded Tit, we talk about the bar’s legacy, its impact on the local creative scene, and what comes next after its doors closed last month.

It’s a conversation about growth, taking the scenic route, and the possibilities that open up when you take a chance.
