A true illumination, that put a spotlight on my life

Songsalive! president, gilli moon, meets Julia Gillard, Australia's Deputy Prime Minister


On Sunday October 4, at an informal backyard garden party hosted by the American Australian Association, at the home of the Consul General of Australia based in Brentwood, California, Songsalive! president, Gilli Moon, met Julia Gillard, Australia's Deputy Prime Minister.

It was a casual affair, but everyone was suited up and Gilli wore her party frock. In their conversation, Gilli spoke about Songsalive! and how it has developed from Sydney Australia, into the largest international non-profit organization for songwriters and composers worldwide, now with its second base in Los Angeles. "The international focus of the organization", Gilli revealed to Julia, "is to be a door stop for Australian songwriters and composers when coming to America, as well as creating synergy and collaboration between Australian and American songwriters and composers."






Julia seemed impressed with the success of Songsalive!'s development and expansion and expressed her thanks for doing something not only worthwhile for Aussie artists, but contributing fruitful relationships between the two countries, (a primary focus of her trip to Los Angeles.)

Gilli also gave Julia a copy of her extraOrdinary life CD. "Oh Good", Julia said. "I'll have something to play in the car while I'm here!"

“Complex is first word that comes to mind when considering Hollywood based Australian artist and producer gilli moon: songs of being a child by an all-woman chanteuse, a singular warrior over the industry who remains quietly sensitive, and a dynamic performance artist who paints as brilliantly as she sings.” -  JeffBuckley.com

gilli moon is a Hollywood based Australian singer-songwriter, who delivers conscious music, art and a brave sense of self-expression in her energetic, sensual and expressive performances and recordings. gilli (pronounced as with a "J")  is an illustrious poly-media artist, with multifaceted albums and dynamic live shows that have touched music lovers worldwide garnering high praise from the most jaded of critics. gilli moon is the quintessential renaissance woman, with a ceaseless contribution to the creative and artist community at large.  She creates music that is fresh, rebellious, passionate and unique. Itunes has been unable to classify her. She stands alone.

Her restless creativity and rebellious nature continually urge the artist to push the envelope when writing a song, recording in the studio, on stage, painting a canvas, or with whatever she touches.

Born in Milan Italy, and raised on solar power in the wilderness "bush" just north of Sydney, Australia, gilli moon lives in Hollywood, California, but always calls Australia home. For the past 10 years, Gilli has been one of Australia's most influential and iconic figures based in the USA, forging an independent path before anyone knew what "indie" was. As an Artist and Songwriter, she has produced and released 5 studio music albums of her original music to critical acclaim, written hundreds of songs, won songwriting and artist awards, actively places her songs in films and TV shows, and has performed around the world many times over.

Her albums include "Girl In The Moon" (1998), "temperamental angel" (2001), "Woman" (2003), "extraOrdinary life" (2005) and "Skillz" (2009), the latter dedicated to empowering at-risk youth (released with L.A's celebrity spoken word/hip hop artist J.Walker).

As a Music Producer with her own record company, Warrior Girl Music, she has recorded and released over 20 Artists' albums as well as music compilations. She has a talent for taking a song from an idea to a fully produced, radio-ready song, and loves to produce full concept albums, not only for herself but for any artist of any music genre.  A perpetual philanthropist, Gilli has created opportunities and avenues for artists worldwide through her non-profit songwriters organization, Songsalive!, plus has written two books about artistic entrepreneurial excellence, called "I AM A Professional Artist" and "Just Get Out There".

Her shows are highly energetic and powerful and she combines music, art, dance and little theatre into her show. gilli is truly a multi-dimensional experience. Her performance is full of action, her voice a tapestry of emotion and sensuality and her music an expression of pure raw emotion.

Moon describes her live show as an "emotional ride". "It's full of energy," Moon explained. "It's a combination of full-on rock: energy, action, and rather heavy. Then it sort-of cuts to a complete silence: quiet ballads where I'm on the piano. Then it peaks again. It's very emotional, but with a quirky and ironic sense of humour at the same time."

Currently recording her 6th album, "The Stillness", (due out early 2010), Gilli's ultimate passions rest in writing songs, recording in the studio, and performing on the stage. It is through her catalog of hundreds of songs, music productions, and unique, evocative and energetic live stage performances, that she sees her truest talents and inspirations, keeps a fire in her belly to purge her life stories and quest for truth.

My review of my Art Of Men Cd Compilation Launch at THE MINT


What can I say! What an amazing night. The Celebration Party for the Launch of the ART OF MEN CD COMPILATION (At the Mint, Los Angeles, Wed August 26) went off, without a hitch. Out of the 35 male artists on the Double Cd compilation, 10 performed here in L.A to celebrate the launch. They flew in from around the world, including australia, the U.K, Canada, Florida and Colorado, plus some local LA artists.

Before 7pm, people were lined up outside the MINT in Los Angeles waiting to get in. It was a long line and I even took a photo. The tables ended up being packed. Before we even began the first act, it
was standing room only.

We had everything in place. The Warrior Girl Music banner blazing behind the drum kit on stage, the artists were all in the room, drinks were being served, and the air was electric.

J.Walker and I entered the stage as co-hosts for the night. As Executive producer (me) and A&R relations (J) of the compilation, we were excited to do a tandem effort on introducing the artists, and it
was great fun.

First up was Mitch Siegal who came all the way from Florida, with his wife (who celebrated her birthday as well), for this night. Mitch set the scene with a lovely Spanish guitar instrumental and then delivered lovely tunes to the captive audience. J.Walker then gave us a little poem ditty, “it’s 8 O’clock on a Wednesday, the Art Of Men crowd shuffles in…” He did his own rendition of the Piano Man, called the “Poetry Man”. Laughter arrupted and drinks started to be poured.

Randamen came up next. A full band headed that drove out especially from Colorado for the night, they packed a punch with their uptempo rock songs. Randy’s lead vocals and smile really increased the
cheerful mood in the room. After Randamen, I did a little ditty, “Temperamental Angel”, acting as the female rose between the male thorns of the night. A bit of feist, a bit of male jilted love humor.
It was a perfect segue for our next artist, Mark Bonner, who flew ALL the way from Sydney Australia just to perform tonight. He did a great job with his acoustic guitar and vocal performed songs, and one of the most humble artists I’ve met. He was also great with the safety pins earlier in the night, pinning our banner up on the wall! Thanks Mark!

Billy Moschella and his 3 piece band Serenity took to the stage and the drums lit up. Billy had brought a big crowd tonight and they were hooting and hollering before he could even say a word. They looked smart, sounded great and were a delight to watch.

As Christopher and Natasha Barran got ready, J. and I sung “Why I Cry” - a little hip hop and a little pop. That’s what we do. We got people thinking about how to uplift the kids in this world. Chris and
Natasha have a very new age flow to their music. It’s very sensitive and melodic and it was a nice touch while everyone was dining. The one cool thing about the ART OF MEN cd is that all the male artists have a somewhat sensitivity to their music, which is great.

Now that the dining and mood music was done, it was time for some Action with a capital A. Alexen was up next and wow did he create a change in the sequence of the night. Head set on, shiny tight blue tee, and terrific dancers, Alexen performed a few dance songs that had everyone tapping their toes and gyrating their bodies. This boy is ready for the nightclub scene before. Great set. ALL the artists all night were terrific. Such a diversity. Wow.

J and I had another ditty to allow the next artist to get ready. From acoustic to dance to now full on heavy rock, we took the edgy turn to watch Paul Killion and band rock the stage, and Paul to down several drinks just to show us he was nasty. The guitars, the drums, the songs: it was a wall of sound and Paul will do well at the Viper Room, Whisky or Cat Club. He has the dark look and songs to go with it. Ending Paul’s set, a few of us hopped up and gate crashed to sing “Need More Green” that Paul, J. and Candace Kruse wrote (in 1 hour at a previous Songsalive! Songcamp). We jammed, we sang, we got the audience to sing,… we spread a strong message about the environment. It was so much fun.

And finally, as dessert was being eaten, and the mood lights flickered, we brought up the last act of the night, James Keen and his band Magazine Gap. They had flown all the way from London, U.K just
for the night. Wow. What a voice. What a groove. What songs. James Keen is the next artist to watch. People were coming up to me and saying, literally, “I feel Iike I’ve just seen the next Sting”.
Another person said to me “I feel like I’m witnessing the launch of the Beatles”. Another said to me “I feel so privileged to be seeing the rise of a new Dave Matthews band”. I mean, these guys are going to be big. People who were tired and were going to leave after the first song, sat with their jaws dropped until James’ very last song and note. No one wanted to leave.

I am so blessed to be surrounded by amazing artists. The Art Of Men Cd compilation launch was a huge success. All the artists brought fans. The Mint staff (Deana at the door, Chris on sound, Chloe “the”
waitress, and all the staff), were exceptional. My team, Audrye Noble, Dave Harvey and Bill Flower, were fantastic in helping with stage management, artists and merch. Also to J. Walker for his extraordinary partnership in all I do.

It was a TEAM EFFORT.

Since starting with the Females On Fire compilations, and now the Art Of Men compilation, I truly can say COMMUNITY is everything. How we can all come together as artists and make things happen (SHAKE THIS WORLD) is so, so powerful.

Our compilation is now available to purchase on iTunes. Get it at http://www.artofmencd.com
