Wednesday Breakfast: Umbra Moon Interview

Wednesday Breakfast: Umbra Moon Interview

Author: JOY 94.9 - LGBTI, LGBTIQA+, LGBTQIA+, LGBT, LGBTQ, LGB, Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Intersex, Queer Podcasts for all our Rainbow Communities August 30, 2026 Duration: 14:05

Naarm-based alternative pop artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist Umbra Moon joins Brett and Scott on JOY Breakfast for a chat about their cinematic dark-pop sound, life as a completely independent artist and the hustle behind building a music career from the ground up.

Umbra shares how busking has helped grow their audience, the challenges of booking shows and releasing music without a team, and the self-discovery that inspired their EP Sleepwalking — including songs exploring coming out, family, heartbreak and change.

With Wear It Purple Day approaching, Umbra also reflects on what a colourful queer future looks like to them: marriage, community, plenty of queer events and, of course, lots more music.

Plus, there’s a tease of a brand-new love song that Umbra thinks might just be their best yet.

Brett and Scott speak with Umbra Moon on JOY Breakfast.
